🎨 Impressions
A bit too short. Some chapters could have benefited from a few more words.
How I Discovered It
I had it in my TODOs for a while, I don’t remember.
Who Should Read It?
Everyone. If you are someone practicing something or coaching someone (at an amateur level that is) you might find a tip useful for you. Even advanced user might find something useful, but at that level, depending on the kind of skill you are practicing, a coach or mentor might be more useful.
🍀 How the Book Changed Me
I was already aware of the importance of practice in determining one’s perceived talent. As I’m not really practicing anything worth discussing about now I haven’t changed anything in my routine, but in the future it will be convenient to have the book at hand and review it once in a while.
📒 Summary + Notes
The book contains 52 tips to improve you own skills and help you become a better coach. It’s intentionally very short and was designed to be kept at hand and reviewed when necessary.
