## Description

Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise : Ericsson, Anders, Pool, Robert: desertcart.in: Books

Review: The definitive guide to becoming an expert - Many books have been based on Dr. Ericsson’s lifetime of research on expertise (like Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers), but these books have missed the key nuances or highlight only some parts of his research. So it’s great to have a comprehensive and an accessible book from Dr. Ericsson and Pool (If you want to dive into his research read “The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance”) Dr. Ericsson deconstructs the actions that need to be taken to go from average to a legend (like Mozart, Michael Jordon). He starts by asserting that we all have the same “gift” – the adaptability of the human brain and body. What separates the expert from the average Joe is that the expert takes advantage of this adaptability through deliberate practice. The first part of the book describes what deliberate practice is, and how experts apply it to produce their extraordinary abilities. He provides several insights in this section – effective practice increases your ability (as opposed to - you are born with certain abilities and that they are static), developing your ability makes things that was not possible – possible, you cannot train to acquire general skills – you have to train to develop highly specific skills, and that the quality and quantity of mental representation of a skill differentiates an expert. The second part of the book describes how you can apply deliberate practice to get better in your area of interest. While practicing a skill keep in mind the 3 Fs: Focus, feedback, and fix it. The purpose of practice is to identify your weaknesses by pushing yourself well outside your comfort zone, which leads to your focus areas. Then you break it down to manageable well specified skills and work on it one by one (in the right sequence) and use feedback to monitor your progress. While working on your focus area you are likely to hit a plateau – the key to overcoming this is to experiment with different methods to improve until you find something that works. Dr. Ericsson describes the four stages in the development of expertise in children. Stage 1 (nurturing interest): parents can nurture interest in a specific skill by providing time, attention, and encouragement. Stage 2 (become serious): help them develop routines, provide support, and encourage and praise them for their improvements. Stage 3 (commitment): provide opportunity to learn from the best, while continuing to provide support. Stage 4 (break new ground): make unique creative contribution to the field Dr. Ericsson ends the book by answering the question – “What is the role of innate characteristics like IQ?” – it does provide an advantage when first learning a skill, but experts beat this advantage by the quality and amount of their practice. Chase your dreams to make them a reality through deliberate practice.

Nothing

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mastery at its best.
*by S***D on 24 June 2017*

Best book for expertise in anything or any field. But for curious people like me who are not expert in anything there's hope. Recent studies, books like Range and prediction for the Future of Work favors Generalists over Specialists.
