Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise by Robert Pool, K. Anders Ericsson

3.0

Good to see how practice is important, and what things are needed to make practice actually improve us. It still felt very heady, and conceptual with not a lot of helpful info on how to create purposeful or deliberate practice in areas you may want to improve in. If those areas already have coaches and systems of deliberate practice then you can be a part of that (music, some sports ext.). But if you are going after something new or different it kind of leaves you feeling lost. Some of the book I found inspiring and hope inducing and other parts I found depressing and discouraging.

Its an interesting topic and has things worth thinking about, but it is a slow and somewhat difficult read to get through.
