Mastery (The Modern Machiavellian Robert Greene Book 1)

Product Information

Leonard gives advice on how to embrace these plateaus, and identifies the many impediments that prevent us from persevering. Be honest with yourself about what these flaws might be, looking back at conflicts you’ve had and how your actions may have caused them. Destinations will appear in the distance, will be achieved and left behind, and still the path will continue.

Aman la práctica, se rinden a sus profesores y no se conforman con entrenar o practicar todos los días. And sometimes, knowing little or nothing about the process that leads to mastery, we don't even realize a choice is being offered.

Second, he goes on and on about examples of success and getting into that 'zone' where you are in the mastery zone and describing it over and over without any new insight.

Once on this path you discover certain side routes that attract you, while other aspects of this field leave you cold. The first move toward mastery is always inward— learning who you really are and reconnecting with that innate force. In the long run, the war against mastery, the path of patient, dedicated effort without attachment to immediate results, is a war that can't be won.But before you can even consider playing this edge, there must be many years of instruction, practice, surrender, and intentionality. After ten long years of incessant thinking on the problem of general relativity, Albert Einstein decided one evening to simply give up. Mastery explains how to become successful by examining the lives of historical figures such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Albert Einstein, as well as through Greene's interviews with contemporary figures such as Teresita Fernández, Cesar Rodriguez, and Daniel Everett. For the angel’s face, he experimented with his paints and mixed a new blend that gave it a kind of soft radiance that expressed the angel’s sublime mood. While there was nothing really wrong with Mastery, per se, I did not enjoy it as much as many of the other books on mastery and mindset that I have read recently.
