Learn a new talent, stay relevant, reinvent yourself, and adapt to whatever the workplace throws your way. Ultralearning offers nine principles to master hard skills quickly. This is the essential guide to future-proof your career and maximize your competitive advantage through self-education. In these tumultuous times of economic and technological change, staying ahead depends on continual self-education—a lifelong mastery of fresh ideas, subjects, and skills. If you want to accomplish more and stand apart from everyone else, you need to become an ultralearner. The challenge of learning new skills is that you think you already know how best to learn, as you did as a student, so you rerun old routines and old ways of solving problems. To counter that, Ultralearning offers powerful strategies to break you out of those mental ruts and introduces new training methods to help you push through to higher levels of retention. Scott H. Young incorporates the latest research about the most effective learning methods and the stories of other ultralearners like himself—among them Benjamin Franklin, chess grandmaster Judit Polgár, and Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman, as well as a host of others, such as little-known modern polymath Nigel Richards, who won the French World Scrabble Championship—without knowing French. Young documents the methods he and others have used to acquire knowledge and shows that, far from being an obscure skill limited to aggressive autodidacts, ultralearning is a powerful tool anyone can use to improve their career, studies, and life. Ultralearning explores this fascinating subculture, shares a proven framework for a successful ultralearning project, and offers insights into how you can organize and exe - cute a plan to learn anything deeply and quickly, without teachers or budget-busting tuition costs. Whether the goal is to be fluent in a language (or ten languages), earn the equivalent of a college degree in a fraction of the time, or master multiple tools to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

The Pinch Hitter And Other Sports Stories

In my first published book, FALLING INTO PLACE readers discovered all my stories take place in the same universe, that they are all connected. As a way of presenting my universe, I used the first book to introduce the darkness or the villainy. COMING INTO FOCUS introduces the protagonists, the various forces that will battle that evil. The "good guys," so to speak. These are the most reluctant of heroes, fighting the good fight out of necessity instead of altruism. You will meet original characters who display friendship, courage, fortitude and determination the likes of which you've never encountered. Of course, with each new story, the evil becomes greater and the odds of our "good guys" winning get smaller. Each one of these stories will show you an aspect of the human experience most people never see: imperfect and troubled people, put in unimaginable situations, struggling to do what's right. As always, they come with twists, turns and unexpected shocks. Come along for the ride with 6 captivating stories. But don't worry, you can enjoy all of them without having read the first book. If you have read the first one, you'll enjoy them even more!
