What if Schools Taught Us How to Learn | Jonathan Levi | TEDxWhiteCity

Why is it that schools teach us WHAT we need to learn, without ever teaching us HOW? Memory and Speed Reading expert Jonathan Levi takes us through his personal journey from a failing student to a SuperLearner in this provocative and inspiring talk.

Jonathan Levi is an experienced entrepreneur and angel investor from the Silicon Valley.
After successfully selling his Inc 5,000 rated startup in April of 2011, Levi packed up for Israel to gain experience in the Venture Capital industry. While in Israel, Levi enlisted the help of speed-reading and machine learning experts. Since acquiring superlearning skills, he has become a proficient life-hacker, optimizing and "hacking" such processes as travel, sleep, language learning, and fitness.
Since 2014, Jonathan has been one of the top-performing instructors on Udemy and has launched a rapidly growing information products company, SuperHuman Enterprises.
