When we want to learn new skills or being prepared future challenges, what we need is persistence, concentration, and determination. Those qualities might appear difficult and impossible to sustain. Thomas Sterner explains how to develop skills in any area of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to enjoy the process in this appealing and pragmatic novel. Life in our early years is all about trial and error, but then why are we, once adults, giving up on a missionif we don’t excel at first? Throughout his research on how we learn, Sterner found that we have lost the ideals of learning, the method of taking up a target and making constant attempts to accomplish it. Sterner’s training techniques demonstrate that trial and error is not plodding on the path to perfection, but rather a rewarding process that creates consistency, lucidity and pride.
