The Feynman technique is a popular method for learning and understanding complex topics. It was named after Richard Feynman, a renowned physicist and Nobel laureate known for his ability to explain complex concepts in simple terms. The technique involves four key steps:

1. Choose a topic: Start by selecting the topic you want to learn or understand. It can be any subject, from physics to history to programming.

2. Teach it to a child: Pretend you are explaining the topic to a young child who has no prior knowledge of the subject. This step is crucial because it forces you to break down the information into simple, easy-to-understand terms. Avoid using jargon or complicated language that the child wouldn't understand.

3. Identify knowledge gaps: While you're explaining the topic, pay attention to areas where you struggle to simplify or clarify the information. These are potential knowledge gaps that you need to address. Whenever you encounter a gap, go back to your sources (textbooks, articles, videos) and study those specific areas until you can explain them in simple terms.

4. Review and simplify: After identifying the knowledge gaps and studying the relevant material, review what you've learned and try to simplify it further. Use analogies, visual aids, or examples to make the information more accessible and relatable. The goal is to ensure that you truly understand the topic well enough to explain it concisely and accurately to someone else.

By following these steps, the Feynman technique helps you solidify your understanding of a subject and identify areas where you may need to deepen your knowledge. It also encourages active learning by requiring you to actively engage with the material rather than passively consuming it. This technique can be applied to any subject matter and is particularly effective for complex topics that require a deeper level of comprehension.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a memoir by American author Mitch Albom about a series of visits Albom made to his former sociology professor Morrie Schwartz, as Schwartz gradually dies of ALS. The book topped the New York Times Non-Fiction Best-Sellers List for 23 combined weeks in 2000, and remained on the New York Times best-selling list for more than four years after. In 2006, Tuesdays with Morrie was the bestselling memoir of all time.

An unabridged audiobook was also published, narrated by Albom. The appendix of the audiobook contains excerpts from several minutes of audio recordings that Albom made during his conversations with Schwartz before writing the book.

A new edition with an afterword by Albom was released on the book's ten-year anniversary in 2007.

Your subconscious mind is like a huge memory bank. It permanently stores everything that ever happens to you, and its capacity is virtually unlimited.

By the time you reach the age of 21, you’ve already permanently stored more than one hundred times the contents of the entire Encyclopedia Britannica.

Under hypnosis, people can often remember, with perfect clarity, past events that happened many years before.

But why don’t we actively recall everything our subconscious minds hold?

While your unconscious memory is virtually perfect, it is your conscious recall that is suspect.

The exciting news is we can use our conscious minds to reprogram our subconscious minds and harness the power of positive thinking to overcome negative thoughts and bad habits to achieve all of our life dreams.

Feeling powerless is a miserable experience. If given the choice, everyone would opt for more rather than less power. Yet, to be so overt in attempts to gain power is frowned upon. To attain power, you need to be subtle, cunning, and democratic yet devious. Consequently, in his controversial book, “The 48 Laws of Power,” best-selling author Robert Greene argues that if you manage to seduce, charm, and deceive your opponents, you will attain the ultimate power.

Greene states that the better you become at handing power, the better friend, lover, and person you will become. This is because you learn how to make others feel good about themselves, which makes them dependent on you as a source of great pleasure to be around.
