Understanding the Feynman Technique

The video introduces the Feynman Technique, a method for learning and understanding new topics. It involves four steps: defining what you want to learn, teaching others, identifying gaps in understanding, and simplifying explanations. The video emphasizes the importance of teaching as a way to reinforce learning and suggests reviewing material multiple times to fill knowledge gaps. Simplifying explanations to a level understandable by a child indicates a strong grasp of the subject. The video concludes with a promotion of an ebook on study skills.
