Learning and the Importance of Making Mistakes
43:42 - 55:58 (12:16)
The process of learning involves making mistakes and repeatedly failing in order to improve. This cycle of learning typically lasts for about 90 minutes and includes a specific focus period of 7-30 minutes dedicated to making errors to accelerate the brain's plasticity.

Summary
Learning requires making mistakes and going through a cycle of repeating errors within a 90-minute block to accelerate plasticity. This period of intentionally making mistakes highlights the pathway for change and ultimately enhances learning.

The act of failing repetitively and learning from those failures can create an outsized effect on the rate of plasticity in the brain.

Summary
The act of failing repetitively and learning from those failures can create an outsized effect on the rate of plasticity in the brain. By telling ourselves that those failures are good for learning and growth, we create a synergy between the release of dopamine and the experience of failing, making it easier to continue down the path of growth.
