This book helped me to uncover the truth behind the “10,000-hour rule” for which Anders Ericsson receives credit. The science of expertise is so much deeper than that. Perhaps the most important parts of this exploration are in the lessons Dr. Ericsson imparts onto parents who want to raise children who understand the value of “deliberate practice.” Again, essential reading for those who are looking to improve in any skill: be patient, persistent, and always practice with good energy.
