About this ebook
This is a handbook containing all the advice and recommendations about learning physics I wished someone had told me when I was younger. It is neither a career guide nor a comprehensive textbook.
What’s inside?
- Understand why self-learning is an effective strategy. Learn why most university students never develop a deep understanding and what alternatives are possible.
- Grasp the internal structure of physics. Learn how the fundamental theories of physics are connected and why physics works at all.
- Develop an understanding of the landscape. Read bird's eye overviews that give a first taste of what the various theories of physics are all about.
- Everything you need to get started. Read detailed reading and learning recommendations that allow you to carve out a personal learning path.

Great book which makes the reader think of the ways and strategy of learning any subject, with a particular focus on physics in this case. Many pieces of advice found in Part IV onwards are quite general and go beyond studying physics. The author emphasizes a few very important ideas about what usually holds us back when trying to master any difficult (or rather believed to be difficult) subject.
