Great course. I also highly recommend the book Ultralearning [1], which has a stronger focus on quickly mastering applied skills.

Thanks for sharing, I haven't heard of that book. On his website he has this 30 minute talk[0] summarizing the "Ultralearning" concept.

Does the book offer significantly more detail or insight such that it's worth the purchase, even after watching his talk?

I have read this and I don't have it handy around with me as a reference book (this type of book should become a reference book). I think this was not as good as I was hoping for. Ok to go through once but wasn't something I would re-read or say I found anything new/worthy. Sorry about that.
