Most athletes are not born with any natural advantage.  Three world-class chess players were sisters, whose success was planned by their parents before they were even born.  Anders Ericsson has spent thirty years studying The Special Ones, the geniuses, sports stars and musical prodigies. And his remarkable finding, revealed in Peak, is that their special abilities are acquired through training. The innate ‘gift’ of talent is a myth. Exceptional individuals are born with just one unique ability, shared by us all – the ability to develop our brains and bodies through our own efforts.  Anders Ericsson’s research was the inspiration for the popular ‘10,000-hour rule’ but, he tells us, this rule is only the beginning of the story. It’s not just the hours that are important but how you use them.  We all have the seeds of excellence within us – it’s merely a question of how to make them grow. With a bit of guidance, you’ll be amazed at what the average person can achieve.   The astonishing stories in Peak prove that potential is what you make it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49552464740625,"sku":"GOR007397849","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49582207369489,"sku":"GOR008061134","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52153006981393,"sku":"GOR010705645","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53200751034641,"sku":"GOR007895916","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1847923194.jpg?v=1750930567"},{"product_id":"peak-book-anders-ericsson-9780099598473","title":"Peak","description":"'Anyone who wants to get better at anything should read Peak.'

Consider what Roger Federer can do with a tennis ball, or Connor McDavid with a puck. There are chess grandmasters who can play several dozen different games simultaneously--while blindfolded--and a seemingly unending supply of young musical prodigies who would have astonished aficionados a century ago. We are dramatically better at just about everything than we were just a generation ago.\u003cbr\u003e      We assume, though, that these peak performers are the lucky ones, the ones with a gift. That''s only partly true. The fact is we are all lucky. We all have that gift. As Ericsson''s whole career has shown, with the proper practice, we are \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e capable of extraordinary feats.\u003cbr\u003e      On the surface, the techniques that chess players use to develop their skills seem quite different from the methods soccer players use to perfect their games, which in turn seem quite different from how pianists improve their playing. But at a deeper level, they are all variations on a single fundamental approach to learning, what Ericsson, a world-renowned researcher, has named \"deliberate practice\": a simple, yet powerful system for enhancing learning.\u003cbr\u003e      This approach to expertise has the potential to revolutionize how we think about every sort of education and training. We are not limited by an endowment of natural talent. We create our own limits.\u003cbr\u003e      Whether you want to step up your game at work or on the weekend, or help your kid achieve athletic or academic goals, Ericsson''s revolutionary methods will show you how to master almost anything.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 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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53256474853649,"sku":"GOR014837341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53257985392913,"sku":"GOR014838064","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9788416029815.jpg?v=1773680351"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-anders-ericsson.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
