In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is an accelerated learning expert and founder of the Superhuman Academy. Jonathan Levi is a serial entrepreneur, author, and keynote speaker born and raised in Silicon Valley.
Since 2014, he’s been one of the top-performing instructors on the online learning platform Udemy. He’s reached more than 250,000 people in 205 countries and territories. His latest book, “The Only Skill That Matters,” details his own journey and the techniques that anyone can use to learn faster.
“As you know, the brain is the most complex object in the known universe,” Jonathan says. “So a simple, ‘Hey, here’s how it works. Here’s how it likes to process information. Here’s what makes information more memorable to it. Here’s how to retain and maintain your knowledge’—it’s life-changing for people.”
In our conversation, we talk about tangible hacks you can start using today to upgrade your own learning.
