The Great Explainer Richard Feynman

How to explain the most complex ideas in simple terms?

Four steps of the Feynman technique are

1. Write down everything new you learn about a subject in a notebook.
2. Pretend to teach the topic in a classroom. Try to explain in a simple way.
3. Go back to the books when you get stuck.
4. Simplify and use analogies that everybody knows and understands.
