What Charan Ranganath actually said

  1. Charan Ranganath Professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California
    So that’s why I think this is a thing that I come back to over and over again, is that you will retain information better if you’re constantly pushing yourself to your limit. If you are feeling like you’re coasting, then you’re actually not learning
