There are two types of people. One who can understand anything easily. And the ones, like me, for who learning has always been a task.

But hey. It’s 2023. If you don’t learn fast, you become replaceable. Every other job is being replaced or in the process of replacement. And that leaves us with no option but to UPGRADE ourselves.

Now, I am not scaring you. I am just introducing you to the reality. If we don’t upgrade ourselves then we are out of the window. And that is a scary thing.

The other day I saw the news that one of the people used AI to write a book. He didn’t know anything about books or writing. He just asked AI to write 4000 words on a popular topic. Then he hired an editor and successfully published a book. And guess what? He is making thousands of dollars with that book.

Now, as smart as this idea and AI is, it’s equally dangerous. WHY?

Because a writer like me who has invested years of her life learning to write and finally hitting that publish button is equal to the random guy who used AI to write a book.

The question is What should normal people like you and me do?

And the answer is — we cannot stop AI. We cannot stop people from using AI smartly. And we definitely don’t have any time to complain how AI is going to replace us all.

What we can do is — LEARN. UPGRADE. and show the world that a SMART-ASS HUMAN can never be replaced.

Now the question is what if you don’t like to learn or study? What if you try so hard to learn something but looking at the vast pool of content, you feel scared and back off?

If you nodded along then let me tell you one thing — I was exactly the same. Since childhood, I was a dumb kid. I could never score good grades. I always struggled to pass my exams. And most of all, when I look back in time, I feel sympathy for my younger version. Because only I know how hard I used to try to study but things wouldn’t sit in my mind.

Today when learning has become fun and easy for me, I have realized one thing — I wasn’t a bad student. I wasn’t dumb. The reality is if you don’t have a good teacher around you then you will always struggle with learning. If you don’t know HOW TO LEARN then learning will always be a curse to you.

But don’t worry, I am here to tell you how to transform your fear of learning new things into fun and excitement. So much so that you start teaching yourself anything new you come across. I promise if you use my method and follow along, not only will learning become fun and easy but you will also become irreplaceable.

Because mark my words, the world is not going to hold your hands and show you the solution. The world is a competitive place and the people who can find a solution and show it to the world are the asset. And you are about to become that asset. Ready?

The Bridge to Learning:

The world we live in is quite funny. You have all the information you need at your fingertips. Go on Google or YouTube and you will find the best resources to learn anything you want. BUT!

But the problem is — one video about one topic is not enough. You need to be actively involved in the process of learning otherwise, it’s like pouring water into an already full glass.

And for that, I use SHORTFORM. You may have seen me recommending this application a couple of times. But today, I will share one feature of Shortform AI that will blow your mind.

Remember how I told you that I find it difficult to understand a topic? Well, that’s not because I am dumb. It’s because what you see on the internet is one-sided opinions and facts. To understand a topic completely, you have to know what’s the opposite as well as every inch of that topic. Otherwise, you are just reading — not understanding.

And Shortform helps you do that. Here is how:

Example:

The other day I was watching a YouTube video on ‘why looks matter’ and instead of just listening to the opinions of the YouTuber, I clicked on the Shortform extension, and here is what it did:

First and foremost, Shortform generated a high-quality yet precise summary of the entire video. Mind you, the video had just started but I already had the summary right there.

How It Is Going to Help?

Instead of watching the whole video to know if it is going to be worthwhile or not, I can read the summary and decide — if I want to invest my time watching the particular video or not. This way, I am being mindful of my time and also I can keep a watch on what kind of content I allow to enter my mind.

Again the internet is filled with garbage, and if you are not mindful then you will keep pouring that garbage into your mind until the garbage is all you can produce in real life.

Best Part: Shortform allows you to copy the summary easily with just a click so if you liked a video or an article, you can copy the summary and keep it in your documents to revise later on.

Moving ahead, not only this tool will help you to get the summary in a second, but it will also generate the context of the video/article or anything else you read/hear/watch on the internet.

Example:

If you scroll down, you will be able to see the context of the video as in what the video is about and the overall meaning of the topic that you are learning.

One Step Ahead:

As I said earlier, you cannot learn anything about a topic with just one video or article. You need to delve deeper. But what if you are too lazy to do more research on your own or what if you cannot find the related content about that topic?

See the problem is everyone has YouTube and Google on their mobile. And everyone is watching the same video and thinking they know everything. But that’s not true.

You have to take more steps to be one step ahead of the rest of the public. And how are you going to do that?

Here is how: Learn More to be More

If you scroll down a bit, you will see Shortform automatically suggests articles and blogs, and research studies that are related to the topic you are learning about.

I am an author. I don’t watch these kinds of videos just for entertainment or for 14 minutes of listening to someone else’s opinions. I watch these videos to learn about the human mind because duh! That’s what I write books on. So, I need to go deeper. Hence, I use Shortform.

Instead of running around for more information, I can use articles and studies suggested by Shortform because they are selected by AI itself from the vast pool of articles to serve me with the selective best so that I don’t waste my time opening and reading the mediocre articles. Isn’t that the best?

If you are a student, this application is a goldmine for you or if you want to learn about a certain topic in depth.

Real Learning:

In any good college, the professor tries to arrange as many debates as possible within the classroom. Do you know why?

Because the professor wants the student to understand the for and against of the topic. You have only half-knowledge if you don’t know the opposite of the concept. Like to understand the value of the sun, you need to know what the moon feels like. Only then will you be able to form a judgment on which one you like the best, right?

So is the case with learning. To understand the topic deeply and decide your take on the topic, you have to understand both side of the topic. That’s called forming judgments and making informed decisions which most humans are incapable of doing. No wonder we are being replaced.

Now, if you want to be an asset, you have to be a smart-ass who knows how to judge and evaluate things to choose the best.

Shortform helps you to do that. Here is how:

See, simple and easy, right?

With just one scroll, I now have counterarguments of the topic in my hand. After reading this counterargument, I can form a better understanding of the topic. I can know both sides of the coin, hence becoming a better learner.

This is the key to becoming the master of any topic. Counterarguments help you to delve deeper and design your own opinion. Besides, it also helps you to stop pouring information mindlessly. It makes you mindful of what kind of opinions you are letting sit in your mind.

Your mind is a powerful tool. You cannot treat everyone’s opinions as superior. And if you do then you end up becoming up a follower of them not a thinker of your own.

Shortform is not just an AI tool to learn new things with ease and fun. It offers more exciting things like,

A Personal Mini Library:

I have read over 200 books. But let me tell you one more thing, half of them were a major disappointment.

A great self-help book can make you the strongest person in any room and you will start seeing the world from a different perspective.

However, if you read a poor self-help book, you will lose your interest in books altogether. Unfortunately, there are some books that are overly hyped and ain’t worth your time. But how can you save yourself from these overly hyped stupid books?

The answer is Shortform. Shortform produces uber-high-quality guides to non-fiction books. Shortform guides are like superpowered book summaries — comprehensive coverage of all the book’s key ideas, clearly and simply explained, plus smart commentary and analysis. It’s like your smartest friend teaching you about a book. Something like this:

I was reading the summary of THE MOUNTAIN IS YOU

And it also has exercises for us so we can understand the topic better, find out how we would like to implement what we learned so far, and actually transform our lives with books. Like this:

Now whenever I want to read a book, I just open Shortform and read the summary. With actionable steps, interactive questions, and the main takeaways of the books, this tool has become the love of my life.

The best part is it’s available to download as an app as well in both IOS and Android so when you feel like scrolling social media, just scroll short form — read the book (without reading the book)

Conclusion:

For a person like me who was afraid of learning new things, because I never knew where to find quality content and how to understand the topic deeply, Shortform served as a blessing. This is not a promotional blog. I found this amazing tool and I wanted to share it with you. It has become my go-to tool and honestly the only tool I have invested my money in and I must say I am getting more benefits than I can expect from one tool.

No matter what you come across on the internet, you can read the high-quality summary of anything and teach yourself LITERALLY anything with just one tool. It will definitely make you smarter.

Now, go ahead and get yourself SHORTFORM.
