Description

Scientists and lay people have always been fascinated by excellence and the highest levels of performance in the arts and sciences. Scientists have only studied these levels of performance in the laboratory for the last 20 years. The investigators have found that the primary mechanisms for high levels of performance are skills, knowledge, and adaptation to intense practice.

This is the first book to be looked at. How? elite performers have exceptional accomplishments. The world’s leading researchers on expert performance and creative achievement review theories and recent findings from many different areas of expertise on how experts maximize improvement in their performance and eventually attain excellence. Elite performers engage in activities designed to improve their performance at an early age. They accumulate over 10,000 hours of practice by the age of 20. Specific goals to improve performance, successive refinement through repetition, feedback and instruction are some of the essential elements of deliberate practice. The optimal duration of practice sessions, maximal amounts of daily practice, the length of intense preparation, and ages of peak performance have been found by investigators. The acquisition of everyday-life skills such as reading, to the performance of teams of experts, and to the development of creative achievement, geniuses, and artistic child prodigies are included in some of the book’s chapters. The book ends with commentaries by several outstanding scientists in psychology, education, and history of science who discuss the generalizability of presented ideas and raise issues for future issues.

It could be said that strive for excellence is what characterizes humanity. When so many people start out on the road to excellence, why don’t they reach the highest levels? In this book, the world’s foremost researchers of expert performance in domains as diverse as sports, medicine, chess, and the arts explore the similarities and differences in the road to excellence taken by successful individuals in each domain. Readers who are driven to achieve or simply want to better understand the processes involved will be inspired by their findings.
