The article keeps hinting at deliberate practice including, > The approach that he took, which we will call “purposeful practice,” turned out to be incredibly successful for him. It isn’t always so successful, as we shall see, but it is more effective than the usual just-enough method—and it is a step toward deliberate practice, which is our ultimate goal. but then cuts off before it actually describes deliberate practice... guess they want you to buy the book.

I literally said the same thing to my wife after reading this article out loud to her. "I guess I will have to buy the book!" Laughing as I assumed there was a book. I will likely research this topic further whether there is a book or not. Slightly related, I'm trying to learn how to read faster. My first goal is to become an average reader in terms of speed. My wife is an elementary teacher with a master's in remedial reading. I'm going to see if she can help me. One issue that she noticed with my verbal recitation is that I stumble when reading sentences with conjunctions. Now I have something to work on and fix which I hypothesize will increase my speed, and likely comprehension, and should reduce my chances of stopping and rereading sentences.

  The article did not do a thorough job pointing to the new book: http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise-ebook/dp/B011H56MKS?ie=UTF8&keywords=PEAK%3A%20Secrets%20from%20the%20New%20Science%20of%20Expertise&qid=1461467170&ref_=sr_1_1&s=digital-text&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise-ebo... Also, I would recommend Moonwalking with Einstein which has fair bit of information on how to learn.

I've bought the book and would highly recommend it to others wanting a glimpse into what it takes to become an expert performer. There are two main differences between deliberate practice and purposeful practice. Deliberate practice requires a well established field where there is a clear gap between the top performers and those entering the field. The second difference is having a teacher who can design practice activities to help you improve on very specific skills. Taken from the book "Deliberate practice is purposeful practice that knows where it is going and how to get there."
