Publisher's summary

Practice can bring you fulfillment beyond your chosen field. But have you ever gotten stuck while learning something to the point that you no longer enjoy it?

In How to Get Good, author Paul How guides you on what to expect once you commit to learning, with all its ups and downs, so that you can optimize the experience.

The first section of the book examines the mindset necessary to acquire a skill, emphasizing processes rather than results. Next, the book delves into techniques for better memorization of your subject matter.

The final section on "Action" discusses how to best apply what you've learned in order to lessen anxiety and maximize enjoyment.

Although coming from the perspective of a musician, How’s philosophy encompasses all education. Learning is not something you stop once you become an adult; rather, it is key to continuously finding meaning in life.

Underwhelming.

Some good points detailed but not a ton of depth. Lacking in how to achieve results.
