Multi-talented author, programmer and entrepreneur Scott Young has learnt four new languages and taught himself the entire four-year MIT curriculum for computer science all within a year. How? By using these seven life-changing ultralearning techniques designed for people, like him, who want to stand apart.

Learning has never been easy, perhaps, because it has never been made easy. Scott Young has observed the passive learning subculture, redesigning it for those who want to accomplish more with his seven principles behind every successful ultralearning project. 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 learn multiple skills to build a product or business from the ground up, the principles in Ultralearning will guide you to success.

Scott’s achievements make one thing clear; it is not what you learn, but how you learn that promises success. And, the best way to learn is not just to learn, but to ultralearn.

Both inspiring and practical, this personalised account is a vital read for any driven learner.
