💌Invested Learner #1
Welcome to the maiden issue of The Invested Learner Newsletter! 🥳
Every Saturday, I'll be sharing with you stuff I found interesting and thought-provoking. Like a mix tape of sorts or playlist if you will.
Here’s this week’s curation with an estimated time investment of 21 minutes:
The Beginning, The Middle, & The New Beginning | Duncan Geere | 🕰8 minutes
How to capture your audience (The Beginning)
"make the title your one key takeaway"
"grab the reader with a strong visual"
unfold the story gradually
Epistemic Humility—Knowing Your Limits in a Pandemic | Erik Angner | 🕰5 minutes
According to the article, real experts practice epistemic humility - the virtue of knowing the limitations of their knowledge and awareness of where they could go wrong
Career Advice | Scott Adams | 🕰5 minutes
Instead of pursuing to become the best of something, why not try to be on the top 25% of 2-3 things?
Elizabeth Gilbert on Learning in Public | Verbal to Visual | 🕰3 minutes
The original experiment for this newsletter is me sending out a weekly digest of online articles I found interesting and relevant to a small group of friends of family. It came from a thought: "What if I'm shortchanging myself and possibly other people, if I don't think out loud?"
This excerpt from Elizabeth Gilbert's interview sums up why I'm doing this newsletter and why I'm shouldn't be concerned about receiving external feedback. I hope this also encourages you to share what you learn in public❤️
‘til next week!
Cheers,
Bituin ⭐️
