    About this ebook

    Peak by  Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool

    "Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise" provides practical insights grounded in research about how top performers and experts are cultivated in various fields. The book challenges the idea of natural prodigies, emphasizing that even seemingly gifted individuals achieve their skills through extensive practice and dedication. 

    For instance, Mozart, often seen as a child prodigy, owed his musical abilities to early, immersive education provided by his musician father, a form of purposeful effort known as "deliberate practice." Despite displaying exceptional talents at a young age, Mozart had already accumulated years of deliberate practice in music education by the time he was just six or seven, astounding audiences across Europe.

    The book warns against the misconception that children or beginners must exhibit extraordinary early aptitude to justify investing time and effort in skill development. It argues that since deliberate practice is the key to proficiency and expertise, initial struggles or successes in a skill should not deter or overly encourage individuals on their path to expertise.
