You don't have to be an expert at everything. Even being mediocre at a number of things can help you live a more fulfilling life. I am currently putting Josh Kaufman's rapid skill acquisition process to the test. Regardless, this book made for a fun read and has personally inspired a curiosity in me for several new subjects. Fair warning, I knew beforehand that only the first 40 pages or so were about the process. The rest is filled with examples. Those you might read or skim depending on your interest level.

AHHHH! I just wrote a really long review and was almost done when my 18-mo old entered the room, wailing, needing comforting. She somehow deleted it and I've just lost all gumption.

Basically, it's mostly common sense and I don't even completely agree with all of his 10 steps. I was disappointed and hoping to get some top-secret advice.

And I didn't read past the first 3 chapters, based on other people's reviews. It seemed like if I didn't benefit much from the first part, I would get nothing out of the rest.

Ugh. This is info that could have been covered in a blog post. An entire book wasn't necessary.

Prvym 50 stranam, co je vlastne pointa celej knihy, by som dal 5/5. Avsak konkretne priklady, aj ked su obcas zaujimave tahaju knihu strasne dole.

The best take-away from this is "time is not found, it is made" and some good tips on learning a skill in a comparatively short space of time in order to be able to apply it in real life.

This could be a short listening if you skip the latest chapters... even though it took me forever to be done with it...
I would give it 3 stars out of 5.

2 STARS

Okay, this is totally my fault for not reading its reviews and jump right into the book without knowing anything.
