A review by warriorwoman
Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise by Robert Pool, Anders Ericsson

5.0

This book predictably had loads of examples from the music world which doesn't really resonate with me. Nevertheless I found it to be a positive, inspiring message. Given the fact that I am less than 4 weeks away from leaving my current profession and starting on a training bootcamp to learn a totally new skill, it came at a perfect time for me. I feel empowered to learn and can see that with purposeful practice (maintained for the long-term), I really can attain mastery in any skill. I can also hope to overtake people with far more hours in the bank, providing I maintain this practice.
