Description

However, this requires so much effort that only those with proper motivation will ever be able to succeed. Retrieval structure: make sense of numbers and words and put them in a context. 3 4 9 2 can be thought of as 3 minutes and 49,2 seconds, a time for running a marathon. The pattern of success is not genetic despite being specific to certain populations. Social and economic factors are the primary factors driving the success of Kenyan distance running. The top Kenyan athletes are predominantly from areas of high altitude, even relative to the rest of Africa. And the difference between the best and the good is not only in the amount of time they spend practicing, but also the way they test themselves after they don’t need to anymore!

Imagine a child pianist practicing to play her favorite songs by ear. She may spend many afternoons practicing at the piano, but it’s likely that as soon as she gets close to the original, she’ll work less and less hard to improve further as her performance is already good enough. The difference between world-class performers and mediocre performers are that they take these mental manipulations to greater extremes. They have taught themselves to ratchet up their optimism at the point of performance; to mould the evidence to fit their beliefs rather than the other way around; to activate doublethink.To an external observer, this kind of conviction may seem irrational. But in fact the point of this conviction is not its veracity.

Now, you have to agree: not many books can put such names next to each other and walk away from it unscathed. Anticlimax: we might feel miserable after a triumph. This is so that we are able to disengage from our triumph, enabling us to focus on the next challenge. If goal fulfillment induced indefinite periods of contentment, we would be robbed of all future motivation. For an award-winning writer, it is the melancholy that provides the creative impetus for the next literary adventure.

“Bounce Summary”

You are so brilliant; you got an A without really studying I´d better quit studying or they won’t think I’m brilliant! It seems then, that outstanding abilities come from vast amounts of rigorous practice rather than natural talents. The book is easy to read. It explains in laymen terms the psychology and effort behind success. Great insight. Matthew Syed talks about his experience and refers to some other high profile players. The book also discusses how successful people explain losing. The reference is mainly to sports people, but it does look at Mozart and child prodigies. Example of the transition between brain systems: when you learn to drive a car. Starting out, you have to focus on all the separate things; gears, brake etc. After you have been driving for a while, things have changed. Your skills have moved from the explicit to the implicit, from the conscious to the unconscious, and your ability has graduated from novice level to proficiency.
