Publisher's Summary From the world's reigning expert on expertise comes a powerful new approach to mastering almost any skill. Have you ever wanted to learn a language or pick up an instrument, only to become too daunted by the task at hand? Expert performance guru Anders Ericsson has made a career of studying chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens. Peak condenses three decades of original research to introduce an incredibly powerful approach to learning that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring a skill. Ericsson's findings have been lauded and debated but never properly explained. So the idea of expertise still intimidates us - we believe we need innate talent to excel or think excelling seems prohibitively difficult. Peak belies both of these notions, proving that almost all of us have the seeds of excellence within us - it's just a question of nurturing them by reducing expertise to a discrete series of attainable practices. Peak offers invaluable, often counterintuitive advice on setting goals, getting feedback, identifying patterns, and motivating yourself. Whether you want to stand out at work or help your kid achieve academic goals, Ericsson's revolutionary methods will show you how to master nearly anything. ©2016 K.

This completely changed my view of what it takes to become highly skilled at anything,and who can do so. Absolutely fascinating. And the narrator was excellent - - I felt like I was listening to the author.
this book could be reduced to a 30 page essay easily. too much anecdote and ceaseless repeating of the same concepts
I listen to a lot of audiobooks, most admittedly for entertainment, but it's rare to find a book that is so incredibly useful in day-to-day life. The idea that by shaping practice in a particular way toward a goal can yield such outstanding results is very powerful.The concepts are carefully described and the authors provide compelling evidence that they work. I can't wait to start applying them to what I'm learning. I only wish I'd had this book when my kids were younger. I would have changed a lot about their upbringing.
I recommend you experiment with increasing the reading speed. I varied between 1.25 to 1.45x to keep me engaged.This book will challenge your views on your potential, how you practice, and how you structure your life. Try to find someone to talk about it with. I found that helpful in committing the book's central messages to memory.
As a teacher and parent of an athlete, so much of what this book is about applies to both myself and my children.The reader had a great pace and soothing voice.I am focusing our training on more deliberate practice.
