Secrets from the New Science of Expertise

Book • 2016

This book summarizes Anders Ericsson's 30-year research on the acquisition of expertise.

It introduces the concept of 'deliberate practice,' a specific learning method used by experts to achieve superior performance.

The authors distinguish between different types of practice, such as naive practice, purposeful practice, and deliberate practice, emphasizing the importance of mental representations in achieving expertise.

The book also addresses the misconception of the '10,000-hour rule' popularized by Malcolm Gladwell and provides practical tips for improving skills in various areas.
