(1) How Elon Musk Learns Faster And Better Than Everyone Else by Michael Simmons (8 mins)
Elon Musk has built four multibillion companies in diverse fields by his mid-40s, raising questions about his unique learning abilities.
While many attribute Musk's success to his work ethic, vision, and resilience, the author emphasizes Musk's approach as a modern polymath: he spends at least 5 hours a week learning, studies a wide range of fields, understands connecting mental models, and applies them to his specialties.
The author believes that learning across multiple fields, as Musk does, can significantly increase chances of achieving breakthrough success.
