Didn't read every page since most of it was anectode. It was okay, kind of inspiring but not life changing I don't think.
The first 3 Chapters are all what you need to go through, I found it very motivating to start right away acquiring any skills that you crave to have!
it’s pretty good, i just got bored at the parts where he was explaining how he used his tips. his explanations weren’t boring, i was just expecting him to expand more on the tips rather the examples. maybe i’ll finish it if i read it again
This is another book which should have been just a blog post.
The main ideas:
• Choose want you want to learn and deconstruct it into the smallest possible sub-skills.
• Learn enough about each sub-skill to be able to practice effectively and self-correct.
• Remove any physical or emotional barriers that get in the way of practice.
• Practice the most important sub-skills for at least 20 hours, even if it is a drag.

The intro chapters about rapid skill acquisition are definitely worth reading
I keep a list of things I want to learn to do, but never get around to it, or start and never finish. This book was encouraging in that it provided a way to approach learning new things without getting overwhelmed. I definitely recommend this for curious minds.
A decent read, although not as good as his other book The personal MBA, which is one of my favorite..
The book is basically based on simple practical techniques and principal, which enables us to learn any skills very quickly, the good part is that the other has himself tried those techniques, and learned 5 to 6 new skills, which he also illustrate on the book that how he learned those skills in less than 20 hours, following were those skills
1. Programming
2. Touch typing
3. Go game
4. Wind surfing
5. Ukelele
Downside of this is that I think the author has exaggerated the book, because the techniques that he thought were very sound and sold, only one example would have been enough for the sake of illustration, and with this the book would have been easily under 100 pages.. then I would have rated it 5/5.
Having said this, I still rate the book very high, because it is very practical one, Josh kaufmann is by the way a brilliant writer, his story telling and writing skills are just sublime.
