For the psychology part, I also recommend those books. The first book is good if you wanna get away from toxic people, second book is self explanatory as well as the third.

[@julsdsal]

thank u for this! majority of these, i already apply in my routine. but there are still some suggestions that intrigue me and i can’t wait to try these out. ❤

[@Mugen_FB317]

I’m reading the book “Limitless” by Jim Kwik, which teaches us to learn better and faster as well as things we should eat to keep our brains (the second brain is the stomach) in top shape 📚

[@spectrent]

I can also recommend the book of five rings by Miyamoto Musashi, a few pages are exclusively about sword fighting but most of it is about him (a real 16th century samurai) explaining what a warrior should be, how you prepare, what you need to put into your craft, what your mindset should be while doing your craft and what you should reap from it. It’s very transferable to almost anything you do. Dude was an badass with intricate knowledge of the power of the mind.

[@DeepSeaManta]

Reading only nonfiction isn't the only path to getting smart. Embracing both nonfiction and fiction is key to becoming a well-rounded thinker. Nonfiction sharpens your critical thinking and analysis by presenting factual information and logical frameworks. Meanwhile, fiction engages your imagination and deepens your understanding of characters and motives, boosting your empathy and emotional intelligence. Nonfiction expands your vocabulary in specific subjects and helps you articulate complex ideas clearly, while fiction enhances your overall language skills with its rich, diverse styles. Combining the structured learning of nonfiction with the imaginative experiences of fiction leads to comprehensive intellectual growth, blending analytical rigor with creative thinking for a more versatile intelligence.

Kids go to school to be exposed to many topics to figure out what interests them, to try out/fail and find what they are good at. Many people cannot do that and utilize the school environment to max, as no environment ever will be ideal or fairytale. Learning to ulitize any environment for your next steps in life is the key.

Late to the party here, but visualization is also a good way to practice when you don't have the physical means. Say if you wanna learn how to build a PC, try to imagine yourself in that persons perspective while watching the video. This will help visualize the knowledge you've learned prior. Either that, or try to find software that simulates an opportunity to practice yourself (PC Building Simulator). It's not perfect, but it's better than cramming it in your head and expecting to remember.

Really and really. I have came across friends that have researched alot about various topics that interest them. To an extent that when they debate ,you can't reason them much even if they totally seem wrong. It's like a skill they have learnt. They're smart at games, music, sports and more. They're tactful and quick with sharp presence of mind. They have knowledge on concrete ideas of History, Geopolitics, Astrophysics, Sociology, Computer Sciences and what not. That even seems to be too much for a High School Graduate. Out of influence, now even I have the inclinations to just become better and better. Suggest more ideas, thanks :)
