Author(s):
Professor Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool

Dr Ericsson has spent his life studying extraordinary performers, attempting to unlock the secrets of what makes them great. In examining the ability to excel through good practice and training abilities, he suggests that meaningful repetition can create new skills.

In this book he and science writer Pool identify the right type of practice and how it can be put to use. They make a strong case that success in today's world requires a focus on practical performance, not just the accumulation of information and offer practical advice on good ‘practice’ practice.
