'Anyone who wants to get better at anything should read Peak. Rest assured that the book is not mere theory.

Do you want to stand out at work, improve your athletic or musical performance, or help your child achieve academic goals?

Anders Ericsson has made a career studying chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens.
