Scott Young - How to Learn Anything

Why I wanted to learn from Scott Young I stumbled over Scott Young
when I was doing research for my upcoming book “The Behavior
Architect”, at that time I made it my mission to read all “habit”
books that I could get my hands on talk to the authors and share my
learnings with you guys. Scott Young by that time already published
several articles about habit formation and wrote the book “How To
Change A Habit” that I found tremendously helpful. One of the
reasons why I started The Psychology Podcast was because I wanted
to motivate people to discover learning as their superpower. Scott
Young already did that, so I reached out to him in order to ask him
how he did it. Scott Young is always in learning mode and over the
course of his career as an educational entrepreneur has helped
thousands of people to find strategies to learn better. What is
