Summary

My guest today is Anders Ericsson, a Swedish psychologist and Conradi Eminent Scholar and Professor of Psychology at Florida State University who was internationally recognized as a researcher in the psychological nature of expertise and human performance. Ericsson studied expert performance in domains such as medicine, music, chess, and sports, focusing exclusively on extended deliberate practice (e.g., high concentration practice beyond one's comfort zone) as a means of how expert performers acquire their superior performance.

The topic is his book Peak: Secrets from the new science of expertise.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Discipline and practice
Solo and group practice
Flow state
Social Motivation
The late birthday rule
10,000 hours of practice
Nature vs. nurture
Brain plasticity
