There are two important parts of chess study; building a library of patterns you know, and being able to calculate precisely. This video is on the first part: learning middlegame patterns. The easiest way to do that, in short, is to analyze a lot of games and learn the things you previously hadn't known. You can also use chess books to get easy access to patterns and hand-picked positions that illustrate them.
