Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise

Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise

From the worldâ€™s reigning expert on expertiseÂ comes a powerful new approach to mastering almost any skill.

Have you ever wanted to learn a language or pick up an instrument, only to become too daunted by the task at hand? Expert performance guru Anders Ericsson has made a career studyingÂ chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens.Â PeakÂ condenses three decades of original research to introduce an incredibly powerful approach to learning that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring a skill.Â
Â Â
Ericssonâ€™s findings have been lauded and debated, but never properly explained. So the idea of expertise still intimidates us â€” we believe we need innate talent to excel, or think excelling seems prohibitively difficult.Â
Â
PeakÂ belies both of these notions, proving that almost all of us have the seeds of excellence within us â€” itâ€™s just a question of nurturing them by reducing expertise to a discrete series of attainable practices. PeakÂ offers invaluable, often counterintuitive, advice on setting goals, getting feedback, identifying patterns, and motivating yourself.Â Whether you want to stand out at work, or help your kid achieve academic goals, Ericssonâ€™s revolutionary methods will show you how to master nearly anything.
