How often have you “learned” something you can’t fully recall later, or that you can’t explain to someone else? While we’ve previously suggested that you write down or discuss a detailed version of your understanding, there’s a related and simpler way of filling gaps in your own knowledge: the Feynman technique. This comes from physicist Richard Feynman’s observation that if you can’t explain a complex concept at a simpler level, you probably don’t understand it well yourself. Or to put it another way: T eaching others can be the best way to learn. How to learn things with the Feynman method There’s a four-step method that has been named after Feynman. It goes like this: Teach the concept to an imaginary child. Identify gaps in your knowledge and go back to your source material to learn what you’re missing. Organize your notes into a narrative. Now go actually teach it to someo...
