书籍简介：

Expanding on a landmark cover story in Fortune , a top journalist debunks the myths of exceptional performance . One of the most popular Fortune articles in many years was a cover story called “What It Takes to Be Great.” Geoff Colvin offered new evidence that top performers in any field–from Tiger Woods and Winston Churchill to Warren Buffett and Jack Welch–are not determined by their inborn talents. Greatness doesn’t come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades. And not just plain old hard work, like your grandmother might have advocated, but a very specific kind of work. The key is how you practice, how you analyze the results of your progress and learn from your mistakes, that enables you to achieve greatness. Now Colvin has expanded his article with much more scientific background and real-world examples. He shows that the skills of business—negotiating deals, evaluating financial statements, and all the rest—obey the principles that lead to greatness, so that anyone can get better at them with the right kind of effort. Even the hardest decisions and interactions can be systematically improved. This new mind-set, combined with Colvin’s practical advice, will change the way you think about your job and career—and will inspire you to achieve more in all you do.

书友短评：

@ Yii 专注于过程，拆解环节，刻意练习，专注改进。虽然不可以快速成功，但是可以快速入门，快速入门就需要将这件事最少最基本的要素短时间掌握，任何领域都是如此。比如做实验，最基本的就是掌握所需要设备的使用方法和安全，然后短时间集中阅读相关文献，然后尽快去做，从而进入改进环节。因此，这本书适合入门之后的人，对于很多人可以说迟迟无法入门，停留在一种低水平的努力之中。最为简单的办法就是用大段时间做透一件事，是入门的好的办法。 @ 1 Popular science. The message is very simple. A blog post is long enough to convey the point. To make it a book, the author added a lot examples. @ 不买物的一天 心灵鸡汤，可能就刻意练习那一段有用 @ Rylee 推荐给了身边的同事。很能relate到自己搞科研的经历。 @ Gary老师 15天读完。中文版是《哪来的天才》。体育跟人生有很多的相似：无法预料的对手、快速反应、不断变换的情景。网络游戏在很多层面跟刻意练习出奇的一致，这大概也是为什么那么吸引人。挖掘内驱力，问自己两个问题：你想要什么？你相信什么？强烈推荐阅读。
