Timothy Ferriss will give a talk on “Accelerated Learning in Accelerated Times,” at Marines’ Memorial Theater, Union Square, San Francisco, 7pm, Wednesday September 14. The show starts promptly at 7:30pm.

This is one of a monthly series of Seminars About Long-term Thinking (SALT) organized by The Long Now Foundation.

As the times accelerate and we face ever more kaleidoscopic careers, a crucial meta-skill is the ability to learn new skills extremely rapidly, extremely well. That practice has no better exemplar and proponent than Timothy Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Body: An Uncommon Guide to Rapid-Fat Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman. Not surprisingly, he has made himself adept at compelling presentations, this one prepared especially for the Long Now audience.
