About this listen

 Ezra demolishes the most seductive myth in education: that feeling like you know something is the same as actually knowing it. He exposes why highlighting and rereading create dangerous illusions of learning while introducing four research-backed principles that actually work: retrieval practice, spaced repetition, interleaving, and desirable difficulties. Through compelling examples and clear explanations, he shows how to transform any subject into effective retrieval practice, why forgetting can be your friend when timed correctly, how mixing different types of problems strengthens learning, and why techniques that feel harder in the moment often produce superior long-term results. The central message is transformative: stop proving you know the material and start proving you can get it back when you need it. This episode fundamentally changes how listeners think about the relationship between effort and effective learning.
