If you’ve ever wanted to improve at a skill, sport or job or become the best at whatever you do, but have been told you’re not talented enough, didn’t start early enough, or that you don’t have 10,000 hours to spare, then do we have the show for you!
Today we’ll be talking with Anders Ericsson, a preeminent leader in new science of expertise, and the researcher behind Malcom Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule from his book Outliers. He’s also the author of a brand-new paradigm shifting book I believe and hope will set the stage, for backbone of education and performance for decades to come.
Today we’ll talk about expertise, what it is, where it comes from, how you can achieve it, what we all can learn from others who have it, how to help develop it in ourselves and our children, and why we can almost all dramatically improve our performance in almost any area we put our minds and hearts too.
That plus we’ll look at homo erectus and homo exercens, Maverick, Viper, and Iceman, Blue Bunny Ice-Cream, Paganini and the Broken Strings, and What a Banana Monk and a Pot have to do with anything.

What’s missing from Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule Why the Beetles 10,000 hours is inaccurate or doesn’t explain their composition. Why sleep and rest is so important – especially for experts Why napping is so important for performance Why shorter chunks are so much more valuable for training Why you’re never too old to change, but why having an advisor is so helpful to help you gradually make the change What are some of the things that would motivate someone to begin making the changes Why the age ceiling for change is a myth What we can learn from violinist Paganini playing on a single string Why childhood prodigy’s are not what we think What we can learn from the University of British Columbia and an experiment then did Why deliberate practice means deliberate improvement Why we should all have a goal or a projectWorld Expertise Expert Anders Ericsson Shares Secrets to Mastery and Peak Performance For Adults & Children, How to Improve at Anything, Why Talent’s a Myth & Why Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 Hour Rule Needs Updating.
