Ultra-learning: Master Hard Skill, Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career - A Comprehensive Summary

There is no doubt that education and learning have become two of the most important commodities we need in these modern times. We live in a world where communication is instant, where we can talk to people from all walks of life on a daily basis. Even the most mundane of jobs will have us venturing across cultural, economic, and social boundaries that once kept us apart.
The world’s data banks are growing at an unprecedented rate. Knowledge, as we know it today, is doubling on the average of every two to three years. Consider some of these facts: 
• It takes only four billionths of a second for a computer to process an operation.  • E-mail can traverse the globe on a hair-thin optical fiber in a fraction of a second.  • With satellites, we can have face-to-face conversations with people all over the world.  • The average American household has access to hundreds of TV channels for their entertainment with a simple click of a button.  • Research projects that at one time would take years to complete can now be completed in a matter of minutes or weeks.  Being able to master new knowledge at a faster rate is no longer simply favorable but necessary. So, if you are a student trying to gain new knowledge in your field of interest, if you’re someone working to gain a competitive edge, if you’re looking to advance your career, a professional looking to impress your clients, a parent needing to help your children, or you simply just want to learn more, this book is a must for you.  
The reality is that learning is no longer something you do in school. It does not happen during set hours of the day and is not something reserved for those young, nimble minds that can absorb facts, figures, and data faster.  
Learning is now a lifelong endeavor. It is now an all-consuming investment in the future. Along with all the modern technology we are enjoying, we have to be able to adapt to new environments and experiences in a blink of an eye.  
Part of the reason for this rapid change lies in what’s happening in the job market today. In nearly every corporate office in America, there is talk about an increasingly competitive market. Companies are also being pressed to produce faster in order to stay ahead of the competition. For this reason, automating many jobs is not just about improving their bottom line, but it also means they must make these kinds of hard decisions just to keep the doors open.  
To do this, companies are making a trade. Where manpower was once their most valuable asset, it is now being replaced by software. Those jobs that did not require deep skills are slowly being replaced by machines. So the number of jobs a person could once get with only minimal education is quickly being depleted. For those who want to keep working, learning how to operate basic machinery is no longer a viable option. Instead, you must put yourself on the other end and learn how to operate the machinery from a vantage point in the cyber world. As an example, look at the list below and see what is happening with many of the jobs many of us have come to rely on. 
• In the last decade of the 1900s, more than 1.8 million manufacturing jobs vanished, while productivity in those same companies increased by 35%.  • In the European Union, there were so many people unemployed that if they were all put in a single line, it would reach halfway around the globe.  • Today, only 17% of the world’s workforce is in blue-collar manufacturing and only 2% actually still work in agriculture.  • Three to four jobs are lost for every new automated robot brought online. According to The Financial Times of London, there will be four times more robotic workers introduced into the business world within the next decade.   • In less than ten years, more than half the textile workers in the United States and in Western Europe were replaced by computerized systems.   • 60% of mine workers and 50% of steelworker jobs have already disappeared, and 30% of the world’s tire makers were replaced by automation all within less than a decade.  Over the years, major industry leaders have been forced to make huge changes in how they do business simply because of the rush of new technology being introduced. Companies that were once well-established such as General Electric, Kodak, and Xerox have been forced to downsize, letting go hundreds of thousands of employees. It may seem like such drastic measures would ring the death knell over these companies. But the reality is that by switching to automation, many of them have tripled their sales and productivity in the process.  
No one knows exactly when or even if this downward spiral is going to come to an end, but there is only one thing we all can be sure of. Those whose jobs will last the longest will be those who are on the opposite end of the spectrum, those who are quick to learn new skills, master new talents, and will be able to change horses in the middle of the stream.  
There is no way to predict exactly where this new trend is taking us but we can be assured that as long as we can keep learning new things, we will be in a better position to stake a claim on whatever new industry is coming down the line and we can be the first in line to take advantage of it. So, when the question is asked, who needs to learn faster, the answer should be obvious - All of us.
