In this interview, Michael, Ben, and Emerson talk about (and give some incredible hacks!)...

How Emerson, who deliberately studied about 600 different scientific fields, leverages the 80/20 Rule (80/20 Immersion) to learn a new field in a few hundred hours;
How Ben sequences learning about new fields by focusing on the qualitative narratives;
On striking a balance between following your curiosity and finishing studying a field;
On being a learner and a doer;
They share high-leverage action hacks to maximize your learning, from conceptual such as how to build intuition around a field, looking for "black boxes" and contouring a field, figuring out when to explore and when to exploit, to practical, such as video learning hacks, or how to read a book while simultaneously listening to the audio version, and why that works.
