The Feynman Technique
Summary
The Feynman Technique is a four-step mental model designed to help you deeply understand any complex concept—rather than just memorizing it—by using simple language and active engagement. Named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, the process involves choosing a specific topic, explaining or teaching it in your own plain words (either out loud or on paper as if explaining it to a child), revisiting source material to fill in any gaps when your explanation stumbles, and finally refining the breakdown with clear analogies and concise phrasing until the idea becomes second nature.
