Master Of Deliberate Practice

If you're looking to master your craft and become a lifelong learner, 'Mastery' is a must-read.

This book delves deep into the concept of deliberate practice and offers practical insights and strategies to optimize your learning and achieve mastery.

The author's writing style is engaging and easy to understand, making it a pleasure to read. I found myself highlighting and taking notes on many of the key takeaways, as I felt it was packed with valuable information and insights.

I am a big proponent of continual learning, and this book reinforced my belief in the importance of embracing lifelong learning and mastering one's studies.

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to take their skills to the next level.

Quick, satisfying read about the idea of "mastery." As I approach middle-aged, it's an idea that appeals to me more and more. Almost more than the how-to, I appreciated Leonard's near-poetic descriptions of how fulfilling mastery is. Definitely worth a read — especially since it can be read in just an afternoon!

My knight gave me this slender paperback when I started my journey as a heavy weapons fighter in the SCA. It is an excellent book full of wisdom I have applied not just to martial arts, but to writing, sewing, computer programming. It's about how to pursue a skill, what it takes to achieve mastery.

Wonderful little book that teaches you how to master a skill rather than just scrape the surface.

3 day read.

personally my favorite format of self development books: a solid detailed structure with enough studies and anecdotes to stick with you in a meaningful way, a fun short read that holds up despite its publication date
