Tim Ferriss is a meta-learner who has mastered languages, tango, and martial arts in record time. His framework involves Deconstruction (breaking the skill into smallest parts), Selection (finding the 20% that gives 80% results), Sequencing (logical order), and Stakes (consequences for failure). He teaches that talent is overrated and method is everything. By hacking the learning curve, he shows that expertise is accessible to anyone willing to deconstruct the game.
