Review of 'Peak' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The book contains good concepts and clearly explains deliberate practice and how practice is the defining characteristic of excellence and not any innate talent. The authors are presenting their very thorough research trying hard to convince anyone who might be skeptical I suppose.

However, it is quite repetitive in showing case study after case study how deliberate practice played the critical role for memorization, for doctors, for golf, for violin, for piano, for chess, for mathematics, and on.
