The power of purposeful practice -- Harnessing adaptability -- Mental representations -- The gold standard -- Principles of deliberate practice on the job -- Principles of deliberate practice in everyday life -- The road to extraordinary -- But what about natural talent? -- Where to we go from here?
Draws on the examples of chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens to outline a powerful approach to learning that enables proficiency through strategic goal setting, self-motivation, and feedback exercises
Almost all of us have the seeds of excellence within us-- it's just a question of nurturing them by reducing expertise to a discrete series of attainable practices. Ericsson and Pool introduce an incredibly powerful approach to learning that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring a skill, and offer invaluable, often counterintuitive, advice on setting goals, getting feedback, identifying patterns, and motivating yourself
