The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery, Adam Gropnik (2.0)
The idea of learning about mastery and how those who have it attained it is appealing. Unfortunately, I found this book very hard to read as it wandered and did not seem to consistently focus on mastery. The author finished one section with claiming what we thought was mastery was not (magic) and summarized another that mastery is sometimes letting go (driving). It felt more like a handful of stories that the author wanted to include. The book was not long but read slowly. I read one sentence three times and still didn’t understand it.
