Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
He could play the violin at the age of 4, wrote many famous pieces in his childhood, and could play a whole piece of music with just one string.
Memorize hundreds of random numbers instantly, extract square roots faster than a calculator, and tell what day of the week a date is in one second.
He won the world high jump championship within one year of entering the industry, played blind chess with 26 people at the same time, and became a world chess master at the age of 14.
Everyone thinks that "excellence" comes from "talent".
The “genius” said: My achievements come from “correct practice”!
The famous psychologist Ericsson has devoted himself to the field of "science of professional expertise" for decades, studying experts in a series of industries or fields: chess masters, top violinists, sports stars, memory masters, spelling champions, outstanding doctors, etc.
He found that the most effective ways to improve skills and abilities, regardless of industry or field, all followed a set of universal principles, which he named "deliberate practice."
For anyone looking to improve themselves in any industry or field, deliberate practice is the gold standard and the most powerful learning method ever discovered.
About the Author · · · · · ·

Anders Ericsson, PhD
The creator of the "deliberate practice" principle, professor of psychology at Florida State University, and Conradi Distinguished Scholar. He focuses on studying how outstanding people in different fields such as sports, music, chess, medicine, and military achieve outstanding performance, and the role of the "deliberate practice" principle in them. He is one of the world's top researchers in this field.
Dr. Ericsson has published several academic monographs on this topic: From Ordinary to Great: Prospects and Limitations, The Road to Greatness, The Cambridge Guide to Professional Expertise and Outstanding Performance, etc. Deliberate Practice: How to Go from Novice to Master is his best-selling book published in 2016. It is the first time that the law of "deliberate practice" has been popularized to the general public. This is also his first Chinese book.

Our brains have the same adaptability as "geniuses" like Mozart; they just make more use of it.

Chapter 1 Purposeful Practice Once someone has reached an “acceptable” level of performance and has achieved automaticity, a few more years of “practice” will not lead to any improvement, but rather to a slow deterioration. Purposeful practice is much more effective.

Chapter 2 The Adaptability of the Brain The greater the challenge a person encounters, the greater the changes in the brain and the more efficient the learning, but pushing yourself too hard can lead to burnout. Therefore, challenges that are outside the comfort zone but not too far away can cause the brain to change most rapidly.

Chapter 3 Mental Representations In any industry or field, the relationship between skills and mental representations is a virtuous cycle: the better your skills, the better the mental representations you create; and the better the mental representations, the more effectively you can improve your skills.

Chapter 4 The difference between Gold Standard Deliberate Practice and general practice is crucial: first, you need an industry or field that has been reasonably developed; second, you need a mentor who can assign training assignments.

Chapter 5: Apply the principles of deliberate practice at work to cultivate a practice-oriented mindset. That is, no longer think that workdays can only be used for work, and practice can only be done at special times and on specific occasions. Instead, transform daily business activities into practice activities and make practice a part of daily work.

It is aimed at all those who want to control their own lives and are not content with the status quo.
