Summary
"Forget spending 10,000 hours in the pursuit of perfecting just one thing. The true path to success and achievement lies in the pursuit of perfecting lots and lots of small things--for a big payoff. Wish you were a seasoned chef? Learn to make a perfect omelet. Dream of being a race car driver? Perfect a hand-brake turn. Wish you could draw? Make Zen circles your first challenge. These small, doable achievements motivate us to keep learning and growing, with benefits that include a boost in optimism, confidence, memory, cognitive skills, and more. Filled with surprising insights and even a compendium of micromastery skills to try out yourself, this engaging and inspiring guide reminds us of the simple joy of learning."--Page 4 of cover
