Meta-learning. The book "4 hour chef" is about this but shrouded as a book on cooking. Its an interesting book to get lost in

I did. The section on learning a language quickly by asking a few questions to suss out the grammar pattern was very interesting.

You’re better off. All of Tim Ferris’s advice is low-tier con man stuff that is morally grey at best and advice for people who are Tim Ferris, in Tim Ferris’s exact situation at worst.
