The Feynman Technique is the perfect strategy for learning something new, deepening your understanding of a concept, enhancing your recall of certain ideas, or reviewing for tests.

This mental model was named after the Nobel prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, who was recognized as someone who could clearly explain complex topics in a way that everybody-even those without degrees in the sciences-could understand. He was able to take the mystery out of complex scientific principles. Feynman was also named "The Smartest Man in the World" by Omni magazine in 1979.
