Amazing
If you're looking for quick tips or hacks, this isn’t the book for you. But if you’re trying to actually master a skill, a craft, a calling, this book cuts deep.Robert Greene doesn’t sugarcoat anything. He walks through how the greatest minds in history like Da Vinci, Darwin, and Edison went through long, grueling apprenticeships and obsessively practiced until they hit another level. What hit me hardest was how Greene explains the emotional and psychological side of mastery, not just the technical stuff.It helped me zoom out and rethink how I work, how I learn, and how much patience I’m willing to give something I care about. I’ve reread parts of it twice already and find something new every time.
In mastery, author, Robert Green goes through a number of examples of masters of many forms. Through a real world, examples and biographies a reader can learn and appreciate how the different masters achieved their ultimate form. Well, they may be fighter pilots, artists, boxers, and other masters they all share some very similar foundational building blocks in how they reached mastery.
This is a really good book. If you're reading the reviews looking for a reason to purchase it- buy it.
I love the history that Robert Greene adds to his book. It makes history so much more lively, almost as if you're there with the people he writes about. I love that he also gives specific examples of how to apply these teachings to your own life.
