What if you could get really good at almost anything in only 20 hours? Sounds like an impossible promise, but it's not. Accelerated learning hacker and author of The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything... Fast!, Josh Kaufman, says anyone can do it. In today's special expanded Riff, Josh busts myths about what it takes to learn new things quickly. He then reveals a 5-step protocol to get good at anything in only 20 hours. Along the way you'll accelerate your learning by deconstructing complex skills, learning what to practice and when (and what to ignore), and figure out how to remove barriers to deliberate practice. In a world where perpetual learning is the norm, the ability to rapidly learn new things is mission-critical. This will help get you started!

  • So what if you could get really, really good at almost anything in 20 hours, from playing an instrument to learning a language to whatever it may be?

  • Well, that's the hypothesis of Josh Kaufman.

  • And Josh, in fact, dove deep into the research and blew up a whole bunch of ideas around learning.

  • And that ended up becoming a process that he actually shares in a book called the first 20 hours.

  • And I wanted to sit down and learn that process from Josh.

  • So this is a bit of a different riff.

  • It's actually a conversational riff, but it's focused on one very specific topic, as our riffs generally are, which is accelerated learning.

  • And it's diving into the question, can you really become really good at almost anything in 20 hours?

  • And Josh says, yes, you can, if you understand the process and you understand precisely what to focus on and what to completely ignore.

  • And by the way, the things to completely ignore are very often the very things that we are taught to focus on.

  • So really excited to share this conversation with you about accelerated learning and how to really become good at stuff in a mere 20 hours.

  • One more quick note also, you'll notice that the audio, the sound of the audio is a bit different in the actual conversation.

  • This was actually recorded with Josh on location in Colorado, so there's a little bit more space in the audio.

  • So that's just want to let you know why the sound is a bit different than our normal in studio.

  • I'm Jonathan Fields, and this is good life project.
