Becoming a specialist of the highest level is not only and not so much a question of natural abilities for a particular type of activity. We are used to talking about the innate talent of a violinist, mathematician, tennis player; we are intrigued by the ability to memorize long texts and multiply huge numbers in the mind. Anders Eriksson, a world-renowned Swedish psychologist and professor at the University of Florida, is confident that there is no skill that cannot be developed. Man has incredible capabilities, his brain and body are capable of improving almost indefinitely: this has been proven by the example of many outstanding people who have proven themselves in a variety of fields. This book tells how to acquire unique skills and achieve professional excellence.
