He argues that failure is the most useful teacher available, that energy across physical, emotional, creative and spiritual health decides how much learning is even possible, and that improving one percent a day compounds into a thirty-eight fold gain in a year. The closing step is the plainest one: reading about a skill is not the same as practicing it. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://archive.jamesaltucher.com/blog/seven-steps-learn-master-anything/ Quotes to ponder: "Without energy, you can't learn." "You can't learn as much from succeeding because it's harder to pinpoint where mistakes are" "One percent a day = 3800 percent a year."
