4 Steps to Learn Anything: The Feynman Technique for The Lifelong Learner
Master the art of simplifying your explanations so even kids will understand complex subjects.
There’s a secret to understanding anything, even tricky topics like Quantum Computing.
The answer lies in simplicity.
Being taught by an expert can be a blessing and a curse.
The expert may assume that you understand everything they’re saying.
They already learned a concept, and apply it daily, so it’s second nature to use the terms they are familiar with.
But as someone new to the topic it can feel like they are speaking a foreign language.
To learn, we must simplify so that everyone can understand.
If you want to learn or teach anything, try The Feynman Technique.

“While we teach, we learn”
- Roman Philosopher Seneca
Richard Feynman was a theoretical physicist often called “The Great Explainer”. He had a unique ability to simplify difficult topics for anyone to understand.
