About this episode
Does it take 10,000 hours to become an expert at something? Probably not, says our guest this week—who happens to be the author of the paper which was the basis for Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hour rule in the first place.
We talk to psychologist Anders Ericsson about his new book Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise.
