I love how she didn't get shy of annoying Justin and asked questions again and again until she understood it.

I find English speaking people are extremely sensitive when being interrupted and often take it personally. There are many cultures out there are perfectly fine about being interrupted in a good faith manner. I think this girl was very keen to learn, and also quick to digest and provide feedback by asking more questions. She was not rude or loud or taking irrelevant things. That's how you SHOULD learn, instead just quietly follow without critical thinking. Remembering there is a thing called fleeting thoughts, if you wait for someone to finish, you might have forgotten about the thought by then which you can never get back.

A very informative and in-depth video, Justin!

It goes in depth in not only the thought process but the mechanics behind mind mapping! I loved the questions that you asked the student as well. They were tailored to whatever they were saying, which made the solutions even more meaningful.

Her "interruption" was a cue for Justin to know he needed to reframe or clarify his points. This is completely normal and it's better than listening quietly when you stopped understanding half way through.

Justin literally changed my acedemic life forever...
Thank you man

[visi]

this girl being a good, challenging student for Justin 😂 most of the world is this confused, so im glad we tackled this issue of fear/imagination in order to study a completely different way than we ever had before. this is a true breakthrough case, yall! this is how you use logic to tackle something youve never done before, and therefore to tackle these fears.

[anthonygallegos]

She wasn't purposely interrupting. She was excited to learn about improving her learning ability. Also most video calls have delay, but either way if all you got out of the video was that, then you definitely were not paying attention.

This is exactly where I'm at!! I'm constantly getting overwhelmed because I try to get too much into detail because I think it will help me understand more, but then it just keeps going on and on and then I give up. I also feel like I can't group concepts into words that sum it up correctly. This video was so helpful!!!

[mamadj]

I love these types of videos. I'm a struggling college student and no matter how much I put time into studying, I don't get any result for my efforts to show. But watching these interview type videos, I think I'm starting to get it. These videos help me a lot with understanding what I do wrong. Please do more of these!

[hollowedboi]

The points on becoming overwhelmed by uncertainty for new information was great idea for life. Don't put off experimentation by trying to find more methods or material to help you, once you get a jist for how something works, try it out knowing you very well may fail but will learn because of it.

[autochick]

This clarified the mind mapping concept and getting overwhelmed. Don’t focus on the details in the first nor second reading. Grouping related processes and ideas together when you start to feel overwhelmed with information by SIMPLIFYING. Thank you Justin for this video example.

[charlescarper]

I really loved this content. She asked great questions I’m sure a lot of people could relate. You could literally see her fear building up when she had to explain the steps, because of her self doubt if she was doing it right. I can totally relate. I would definitely love to watch more content like this.

[jesnaldoza]

You are revolutionary, Doc Justin ! I recently joined the ICS program and I realized that Doc Justin and his team are re-wiring human brains, producing brilliant and open minded students across the globe.

If computer experts are building AI, Doc Justin are building brilliant minds with good character building, increasing the chance of humans in competing with AI!


Thank you so much for building the step-by-step system and processes, Doc Justin! You are truly a GENIUS!

[Dariel-vy]

Excellent video, I felt very identified with her in so many questions and emotions, but Justin knew how to listen and properly guided her through the conversation switching from the structure of a well map making to the psychology of learning and self evaluation, they were both great.

Please do more of these videos with your students, they're so helpful because their struggles are often mine too and even if they're not I can still learn things

[memeranque]

Really appreciate this kind of content! So insightful. Thank you for this weekly gifts

[RichardAlbertMusic]

I love your normal/scripted videos and these live sessions I love even more. Your content was a game changer for me.

[aceshigh]

this was a really great episode. i will rewatch it. my biggest issue is fear/anxiety and while i'm aware of my maladaptive coping mechanisms, i struggle to move forward and think in the solution and do trial and error.

[MarkDMoore-rrrv]

I think this is one of your best YouTube videos, Dr Justin - and you have a lot of very good ones.
