Recommendation

According to an ancient Chinese proverb, “Learning is like rowing upstream: Not to advance is to drop back.” However, as business author Josh Kaufman points out, learning something new doesn’t have to be the excruciating upstream struggle that many people imagine. With clear insights and a ukulele solo, Kaufman expunges myths about learning and shares best practices in becoming proficient at any new activity. getAbstract recommends his charming presentation to anyone who has longed to take up a new instrument, language, sport or skill but dreads getting started.

Take-Aways

  • A common misconception is that it takes 10,000 hours’ practice to learn a new skill. In reality, you can become proficient at an activity with just 20 hours’ practice.
  • Define your goal. What exactly do you want to achieve?
  • Deconstruct the skill into its components. Conduct research to identify the key subskills you need to learn to progress, and practice those subskills repeatedly.

    Everyone wants the easy way to learn - it's just 'qet rich quick' in different clothes. There are few people truly good at anything in finance - just dilettantes and consultants
