I think the author of the article is missing the point of the book. And assuming everyone else is missing the point of 10,000 hours of intentional practice.

  Agreed. So 10'000 hours of practice isn't just doing it, it's actually becoming obsessed with doing it BETTER. I can make sandwiches all day long, but only if I focus on how precise I am in the dose of mayonnaise, how seamless my spreading it over the bread, and how exact is the time the sandwich spends on which part of the refrigerator, then I'll improve. Sorry I'm tremendously eager to eat a sandwich right now. A good follow up book after reading Outliers is James P Catse's "Finite and Infinite Games": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1476731713/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1476731713&linkCode=as2&tag=alvaroduran-20&linkId=8083958421b739785738a9ea98e334a1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1476731713/ref=as_li_tl?ie...

    I know a lot of people who have 6 months of practice, repeated dozens of times. Most drivers for example have about that much, and it shows in how they drive.

      Can't describe it better (unless it involves food). Good job!

  I agree with you. It might be helpful to share the point with those who might not immediately get it.
