In the next 10 years, every knowledge worker on earth will become one of two things: invaluable or obsolete. No matter the industry, the pace of progress and new information is faster today than ever before in human history - and it’s accelerating exponentially.

In this new reality, how can we possibly hope to keep up? How can we learn, unlearn, and relearn fast enough to stay relevant in the world to come?

In The Only Skill That Matters, Jonathan Levi unveils a powerful, neuroscience-based approach to reading faster, remembering more, and learning more effectively. You’ll master the ancient techniques being used by world-record holders and competitive memory athletes to unlock the incredible capacity of the human brain. You’ll learn to double or triple your reading speed, enhance your focus, and optimize your cognitive performance. Most importantly, you’ll be empowered to confidently approach any subject - from technical skills, to names and faces, to foreign languages, and even speeches - and learn it with ease.

Fairly terrible.

This book gets two stars simple (and only) because it puts together its ideas in a coherent and readable fashion. There is nothing new here, the techniques presented are all outlined elsewhere and have been for decades.

As for the author - well he explains very early on in the book the secret of his success, its not a skill, its not training, its the fact he took and continues to take ritalin. Don't waste your money on this fraud.

The foundation of all self development - the only self development book that matters?

I’ve been a big fan of Levi and his super human academy online courses for a while. Not only is his story inspirational, this book has helped me improve my learning and growth exponentially.

I was getting frustrated that I couldn’t get through my reading quickly enough, and learning and applying the knowledge from the books I was reading and workshops and lectures I was attending was a little hit and miss. This book has given me skills that I wish I had back in school. People have commented on how much more I seem to be taking in and bringing to the party in meetings.

Knowing his work, I went in knowing that it wouldn’t be an onerous read, but I was taken aback by how simply he has broken down incredibly powerful tools. They are well thought out, supported with science and really, really easy to start using.

Being able to learn more effectively is the ultimate competitive advantage and the bedrock of all success in life. If you can do it well, then any other skill you choose will come to you.

I now read faster. I read a broader range of material. Retain more from lectures, workshops and books. Have better recall and can better apply the knowledge. I don’t want to say this book has changed my life as people may write me off and being a little glib, but it has certainly made it a damn site better.

I dare you to read this book and not feel both inspired and like you can go take on the world.

Genuinely useful learning techniques

I almost gave up with this book at the beginning. At the start the author I felt was just telling us how amazing he was without any evidence.

Fortunately I skim-read the early chapters until I got to where the actual content was, and I will admit when you arrive at this point he does have genuinely good stuff to learn.

While I couldn't help finding him still falling into pomposity in the remaining chapters I was willing to forgive him because he does give useful and well-explained lessons on how to improve the learning experience.

So I would definitely recommend this book, although you might want to skip over the early chapters.

A wonderfully written love story to life and learning.

Having followed Jonathan's online courses, blog, and podcast for a number of years, I can absolutely attest to the quality of his teaching - something that comes flowing through in this book. However, this book, maybe more than anything else he's put out so far, really goes into detail about his back story, along with that of human evolution. This acts to simultaneously explain why the techniques and training he espouses work, and also how he has applied them in his only life to great effect, taking himself from 'class clown' to 'super learner'. Anyone that listens to his podcast can clearly hear Jonathan's passion for learning and living up to his fullest potential and through his work, exemplified by this book, he helps us to see how we can do the same.

A very, very high level summary of the basics of leaning

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 January 2021

Use standard mnemonic techniques (visualisation/memory palaces), use spaced repetition. Erm... That's it. To someone who had never heard of either of those things, this might be a useful introduction, I guess, but there are blog posts out there that could give you a better introduction with much less anecdotal fluff surrounding them. I would recommend finding one of them, rather that spending a few hours reading this entire book.
