How to learn any subject with the Feynman Technique The Feynman Technique is a learning framework that requires you to develop a deep understanding of a given topic. It involves 4 key steps: 1.set the stage 2.ELI5 (Explain it to me like i'm 5) 3. Assess & Study 4. Organize, convey & review Let's cover each step: Step 1: Set the Stage what's the topic you want to learn? starting with a blank page, write the topic at the top & jot down everything you know about it. Read & research the topic. Add any new learnings or insights as you develop them. Step 2: ELIS5 Here's where it gets unique: Attempt to explain the topic to someone without a base understanding of it (i.e.a "child"). On a blank page, write down everything you know about your topic-but pretend you are explaining it to a child. Use simple language! Step 3: Assess & Study Reflect on your performance-form an honest assessment. How well were you able to explain the topic to a child? Where did you get frustrated? Where did you turn to jargon? These are the gaps in your understanding! Read and study more to fill them. Step 4: Organize, Convey & Review Organize your elegant, simple language into a clear, compelling story or narrative. Convey it to a few others, then iterate and refine accordingly. Review your new, deep understanding of the topic. Remember: Simple is beautiful.
