Alert: Ultralearning on sale

September 02 2025 – 02:53pm

Good afternoon. As I write this, Scott H. Young’s Ultralearning is only $1.99.In this case, I must disclose that Scott is a friend, and we have long Zoom conversations periodically. We have a lot of overlap in the way we think, though I am much more mystified by how to trick oneself into doing what one intends, while Scott is far more interested in what is the best and most optimal way to do it.

He puts that passion into Ultralearning. I’m always impressed at how thorough Scott is. He uses a lot of scientific research to back up his claims and, unlike some pop-psy trad-pub authors, he is very careful not to assert a claim unless it is robust and replicated.

He combines that scientific rigor with real-world experimentation. Scott first built his audience years ago when he learned the 4-year MIT Computer Science curriculum on his own, in 1 year.

It’s a fast-moving world, with execution easier than ever, but acquiring knowledge and skill not always so much. So Ultralearning is as relevant as ever.


I have no control over the price of this book, and it may not even be discounted anymore by the time you get this. But if it is, move fast!

When my readers buy books like these, it helps signal to Amazon that readers of those books will also like my books, especially if you buy them along with mine.
