The Danger of The Feynman Technique

Why Most People are Using it Wrong

The Feynman technique (pronounced “fine-man”) changed my life. Reviewing all the study methods I have ever used, this technique easily ensures a place as one of my five methods of study.

The bases of the technique are that you try to explain a complicated topic in simplified terms, allowing you to better understand the complex subject.

Over time, we have identified the fundamental principles of Feynman technique, the golden rules. When I started using the technique properly, understanding my subjects not only I deepened, but I woke up to make new connections and sometimes even guessing test questions (it is a good feeling).

Richard Feynman was a famous author, physicist, teacher and more. Albert Einstein was present during Feynman’s discussions, when Feynman was a graduate student, and Bill Gates reports Feynman as “the greatest teacher I never had.”

Personally, the feature I admire most in Richard Feynman was his teaching ability. I watched some old videos about him speaking and his lectures and I am always amazed by his ability to read some extremely simple complex. So how do we use this magical technique?

Ok, now we know what it is; Let’s move on to the meat of this post. How can we maximize the potential of this fantastic technique?

Don’t learn something for the first time with Feynman technique. Remember, what we do with the Feynman technique is to take something complex and simplify it, so that we can better understand the complicated thing.

So, if you take that difficult thing that you do not even understand and try to…
