Summary

This episode explores the importance of understanding different learning styles and how recognizing that you are an auditory learner helped Shiva overcome struggles with reading comprehension. Shiva shares tips for identifying your preferred learning style and adapting your approach to maximize your strengths and potential.


Key Takeaways

  1. We all have different preferred learning styles - auditory, visual or kinesthetic - and it's important to identify your natural strengths to optimize how you learn.
  2. Don't judge your intelligence based on weaknesses in areas that may not align with your style, like an auditory learner struggling with reading textbooks.
  3. Experiment with different study methods that incorporate your strongest style, like using audio books and notes for auditory learners, to achieve better comprehension and retention of information.


    4. Noteworthy Quotes

    • "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it's stupid." - Albert Einstein (timestamp 0:07:51)
    • "Don't judge yourself by your ability to climb the tree. That's, I think, a big takeaway here. I think many of us do it. Because we are even in our education system. We're indoctrinated to follow a certain set of systems without freedom of expression, or ability to question right?" - Shiva Dhanasekar (timestamp 0:08:51)
    • "I think there's a lot of merit into what I'm speaking about, I think it's very important topic. And I think understanding what kind of learner you are, will make all the difference." - Shiva Dhanasekar (timestamp 0:08:51)
