157: Why It’s Essential to Struggle with Learning


Listen Later

Do you find yourself struggling with changing your behavior? Real learning is hard, but keeps you from making the same mistake again.
I wrote this article a few months ago: Sorry, I Don't Love Learning
Have you seen this scene in the Matrix?
I mentioned the book Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell*
Practical Advice
1. Ensure that it’s something important for you to learn
I mentioned the book Soar With Your Strengths by Donald Clifton and Paula Nelson*
2. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
“When you are tough on yourself, life is going to be infinitely easier on you.” -Zig Ziglar
3. Recognize that what you’ve been able to change your behavior on is really challenging for others
“Every single time I get on a plane I’m really glad that the plane is not being flown by someone who just always loved planes.” -A teacher quoted in Building A Better Teacher by Elizabeth Green*.
