<p>By the way, some may not know, but I organized an educational online club where we study and discuss a selected course together.</p>
<p>This all happened quite unexpectedly (like many projects I get involved in). At some point, I realized that it’s hard to go through courses alone; there’s always a reason to postpone or abandon them. As an experiment, I threw out a call to watch Human Behavioral Biology by Robert Sapolsky together. We formed a group and watched and discussed all 25 one-and-a-half-hour lectures.</p>
<p>The advantages of this approach that I discovered for myself:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Discipline and motivation</strong> - it’s hard to skip a week when you know others are waiting for you.</li>
<li><strong>Different perspectives</strong> - it’s surprising how differently people perceive the same information. This was a bit of a shock for me.</li>
</ol>
<p>Format: Each person independently watches the lecture during the week, and then we call and strictly discuss the key points for one hour.</p>
<p>Why am I telling you all this? We have already watched two courses (Human Behavioral Biology (Stanford) and The Science of Well-Being (Yale University)) and are starting the third one, Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects, this coming Monday.</p>
<p>If you want to join, now is the time. You need to watch the first lecture and join the discussion on Monday.</p>
<p>Coordination for the course takes place in the chat: <a href="https://t.me/+vLlPLToLeX4yMzMy">https://t.me/+vLlPLToLeX4yMzMy</a></p>;
