The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isn't drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we don't succeed? In his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have forgotten the principles of practice - the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process. This book will transform a sense of futility around learning something challenging into an attitude of pleasure and willingness.In those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. By focusing on "process, not product," you'll learn to live in each moment, where you'll find calmness and equanimity.
