Learning to Learn: How to Discover What Works for You (Interactive Workshop)

We constantly encounter advice about how to improve our lives.

Should I meditate? How should I train at the gym? What is the best way to learn a new language? Should I wake up at 5 am to be more productive? Should I quit social media? How can I become more resilient?

Some of this advice comes from scientific research, some from experts or successful people, and some from friends and our own experiences. But even good advice has an important limitation:

What works for someone else—or even what works for most people—might not work for you.

So how can we decide which advice is worth trying? And once we try something, how can we tell whether it is actually helping?

In this practical workshop, we will explore why apparently good advice sometimes fails and how we can treat advice as something to evaluate, adapt, and test rather than simply follow.

Through examples, discussion, and a simple experiment during the workshop, we will explore how to:

• evaluate advice before acting on it;
• distinguish a useful underlying principle from a specific prescription;
• use scientific evidence without assuming that an average effect will apply to everyone;
• learn from our own experience without jumping to conclusions; and
• design simple personal experiments to discover what works for us.

The aim is not to find a perfect formula for living well, but to develop better tools for learning what works for you.

Doors open at 6:30 pm. The workshop starts at 7:00 pm.

No previous knowledge of psychology or research methods is required—just curiosity and a willingness to participate and discuss ideas with others.

See you there!
