Launching Our Third Course in the Educational Club

Tomorrow we are launching our third course in the educational club. Join us, it's free!

<p>Guys, tomorrow we are launching our third course in our educational club.</p>

<p>A bit about our club and its history. At one point, while taking Robert Sapolsky's <strong>Introduction to Human Behavioral Biology</strong> course, I realized that I wouldn't be able to tackle 25 lectures of 1.5 hours each on my own—there would definitely be reasons to postpone, watch later, etc. So, I conducted an experiment—I suggested to my friends that we go through it together.</p>

<p>The result was really cool, namely:</p>
<ol>
<li>Motivation—we watched it all the way to the end</li>
<li>I gained a huge amount of different perspectives on the same information—this actually surprised me the most; it seemed we were watching the same lectures, but we perceive them so differently</li>
<li>Great networking and new acquaintances.</li>
</ol>

<p>Format:</p>
<ol>
<li>Everyone watches the lecture independently</li>
<li>Once a week, we call for exactly one hour and discuss key ideas, what struck us, our thoughts</li>
<li>At the end of the hour, we choose a leader for the next week, who reminds everyone about the lecture, organizes the call, and moderates it.</li>
</ol>

<p>In this format, we have already completed 2 courses (Sapolsky from Stanford and <strong>The Science of Well-Being</strong> from Yale) and now we are starting the third course <strong>Learning How to Learn: Powerful mental tools to help you master tough subjects</strong> (it has a rating of 4.8 and 85,500 views on Coursera).</p>

<p>If you're interested—join us, it's completely free. The first call is tomorrow (yes, you'll need to check out the first lecture).</p>
