Portfolio The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything. Fast

Ottimo libro

It is a copy not a real one and the quality it rly bad

The idea is good and very simple that it can be summarised succinctly within 2 pages. The bulk of the book (like 80%) is dissecting how to learn yoga, ukulele, programming etc which I skipped.

It's difficult to imagine a better book on skill building than The First 20 Hours. If you've ever found yourself thinking "I wish I knew how to ____" or "I wish I didn't quit ____ lessons as a kid," then this is the best book you can read. There are many other books on learning that I love, such as "The Art of Learning" by Josh Waitzkin, but this is by far the best step by step guide you can apply to learning any skill.The first 40 pages are dedicated to the principles of effective learning and skill acquisition. You could technically stop here if you wanted to and go on learning a skill, but there is a lot you'd miss, as it's very helpful to see the principles of skill acquisition in context.Each of the skills show the principles in context as well as overcoming some of the common barriers to learning. Some are more interesting than others depending on your interest in the skill. While each skill has interesting elements to it, learning touch type is the one that wrinkled my brain. It's fascinating to see his journey in rewiring his brain to type on a different keyboard. I had no idea that different types of keyboards even existed before reading this book. I'm not sure if I'll make the switch to the Colemak keyboard, but I'll now be focusing on skill building before sleeping.If you want to learn any skill quickly, this book will give you the 10 principles of skill acquisition and learning while destroying the typical excuses that people give for not learning something

I really love this book. It is a helpful book, easy to understand and help me save much time to learn somthing quickly.
