Download Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise AudioBook Free
From your world's reigning expert on knowledge comes a robust new method of mastering nearly every skill. Perhaps you have ever wanted to learn a vocabulary or grab an instrument, and then become too daunted by the duty at hand? Expert performance expert Anders Ericsson has made a profession of studying chess champions, violin virtuosos, legend athletes, and recollection mavens. Peak condenses three generations of original research to expose a remarkably powerful method of learning that is fundamentally different from just how people usually think about acquiring an art. Ericsson's conclusions have been lauded and debated but never properly described. So the notion of knowledge still intimidates us - we believe we need innate expertise to stand out or think excelling seems prohibitively difficult. Peak belies both of these notions, demonstrating that the vast majority of us have seeds of superiority within us - it's simply a question of nurturing them by minimizing knowledge to a discrete series of attainable procedures. Peak offers invaluable, often counterintuitive advice on establishing goals, getting feedback, identifying habits, and motivating yourself. Whether you want to stick out at the job or help your child achieve academic goals, Ericsson's cutting edge methods will show you how to master nearly anything.
