" Purposeful practice... pushes you to build skills through several mechanisms, including setting clear, specific goals, being focused, leaving your comfort zone and receiving constant feedback. But what sets apart great performers from people who seem to touch genius? Deliberate practice, or purposeful practice that’s informed. Two things need to happen. First, the practice must be applied to a field that’s well-developed, meaning that there are already more experienced practitioners in the world whose level of performance clearly differs from those who are just starting out. Second, deliberate practice requires a teacher or coach who can train a student using the practice activities necessary to improve.

Not All Practice Makes Perfect - Issue 35: Boundaries - Nautilus

In just our fourth session together, Steve was already beginning to sound discouraged. It was Thursday of the first week of an experiment…

A long excerpt of Peak was published in Nautilus Magazine, with permission from our publisher, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. Nautilus is an extremely popular publication that describes itself as “a different kind of science magazine. We are science, philosophy, and culture connected, offering a new perspective on human uniqueness and our universe — all beautifully illustrated. Each month, we explore a single topic from various scientific disciplines, pairing award-winning journalists with illustrators to create features that are unlike any other science journalism — fascinating, inspired, and innovative. Nautilus publishes online and print long-form features, as well as a blog.”

The Peak excerpt printed by Nautilus has proven so popular that it has been linked to numerous blogs, publications, and web sites and has been shared and re-shared on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. One such site – The Net Economy – found Peak so relevant to so many fields that their Peak excerpt entry was posted in “Broadband, Business, Economic development, Economy, Education, How to, Leadership, Net and tagged Business improvement, Industrial economy, Internet, Jobs, Leadership, Organization, Productivity, and Skill.”

Malcolm Gladwell got us wrong: Our research was key to the 10,000-hour rule, but here’s what got oversimplified

Yes, it takes effort to be an expert. But Gladwell based 10,000-hour rule in part on our work, and misunderstood

​Our adapted excerpt from our book -- Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise -- was published in the popular online magazine Salon, and it quickly became one of the magazine’s most read articles. Read this for valuable insights into deliberate practice and to see the ways in which Gladwell misunderstood and misrepresented our work when he came up with his so-called 10,000 hour rule. In other words, his rule is not really a rule. In fact, it's wrong.
