Description
"Beyond 10,000 Hours - Why practice does not make perfect" corrects the most misunderstood statistic in self-help. Malcolm Gladwell popularized the idea that 10,000 hours of practice makes you an expert. But the original researcher, Anders Ericsson, hated this simplification.
Education expert David Wise explains the nuance: It's not about the quantity of hours; it's about the quality. Driving a car for 10,000 hours doesn't make you a Formula 1 driver; it just makes you a habitual driver. To improve, you need "Deliberate Practice"-painful, focused effort with immediate feedback.
This book is a guide to stopping "autopilot" practice. It teaches students and professionals how to break through plateaus by focusing on their weaknesses rather than just repeating what they are already good at.
