IIRC, the book talks about "deliberate" practice being the key.
- derekp7 7y agoAnother way to think about it, is practicing at the edge of your skill / knowledge. If you can already do x, then you are at a good position to learn to do x + i (where i is an incremental improvement over x), by practicing x + i until you can do x + i. Rinse, repeat.
- senthil_rajasek 7y agoSorry no, ironically Outliers never once mentions "deliberate" ( I checked the index) but refers to the paper by K. Anders Ericsson et al., The role of deliberate practice in the acquisition of expert performance. http://projects.ict.usc.edu/itw/gel/EricssonDeliberatePracticePR93.pdf http://projects.ict.usc.edu/itw/gel/EricssonDeliberatePracti...

The book's lede is essentially "Gladwell bastardized my research to fit a narrative that would sell books." https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise-ebook/dp/B011H56MKS https://www.amazon.com/Peak-Secrets-New-Science-Expertise-eb... It's a good read.
