I did well – I suppose on pure natural talent and some cramming. But school never really interested or excited me.

Compare to today, when I finished a (short) 150pg book in about an hour – and I call that slow. That was non-fiction book number 48 in the past 12 months, outside of the school curriculum.

I don’t intend to brag, but to highlight the massive difference between what I did in formal schooling and what I have stated to do on my own. In school, I would learn while someone was trying to spoon-feed me. Now, I hungrily devour books and other material. I have completely changed the way I learn.

The learning transformation began with reading a book on memory 2.5 years ago (Your Memory… by Kenneth L. Higbee.) By now, I have read 10 books on learning, specifically covering: memory, using the right side of your brain, and reading better. I intuitively know if I will remember new material, or if I should use one of the many tools in my toolbox to make it stick.

The Photoreading system for books, which I started using a few weeks ago, is particularly amazing. When Photoreading, I have intense concentration, read very quickly, and have phenomenal recall of the material. But what is really amazing is how those same principals for reading books flow into everything else I learn – the classes, audio recording, and Talmud. Everything just becomes easier, more fun, and more meaningful.

Learning isn’t hard or boring. We have just been taught to learn incorrectly!
