Scott Young, having studied the results of recent research and the experience of outstanding individuals, has found those teaching methods that give the maximum effect: they allow you to better understand and remember information, as well as discover new talents. He formulated nine principles of rapid self-education that allow you to master complex skills, gain the necessary knowledge, maximize competitive advantages and build a career. These principles will be useful to anyone who wants to learn something on their own: master a language (or several languages), acquire a new profession, or master several tools to create a product or business from scratch.
