5.0 out of 5 stars Mastery is a path, not a destination
If you're deciding whether or not to read this, think about the core message of this book: mastery is a path, not a destination. This book then lays out a roadmap for anyone seeking long-term fulfillment, giving practical wisdom for how to master specific disciplines. This approach directly opposes modern obsessions with quick fixes and instant gratification, instead opting for a more deep and meaningful approach to life's challenges. If you're ready to start your journey of mastery without any concern of when you will arrive at a destination, then I highly recommend you read this to be inspired and encouraged on your path.
5.0 out of 5 stars Master the direction of your life
This book is a quick read that changed my life!The process Mr Leonard describes in this book is straightforward, easy to understand, and even easier to apply - as long as you can learn to love the journey! This will offer you a great insight into your successes, and other results, and show you a clear path to achievement. You'll be able to understand your own behaviors, and those of others, better and be more mindful of them to help yourself and others achieve your goals while enjoying the process (which is the actual goal itself).A quick warning: this can be a painful read, since we all have times in our lives when we have, and even still will, participate in the patterns Mr Leonard describes as 'Anti-Mastery'. Many have a problem with this part, but it is necessary to accept and come to terms with it, there is no shame in the feedback from past adventures unless you continue to not learn from them, this requires humility and letting go of pretense. If you can manage that you'll be on the path to Mastery sooner than you realize, without even realizing it!An excellent read in conjunction with Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience (Harper Perennial Modern Classics) or Finding Flow: The Psychology of Engagement with Everyday Life (Masterminds Series). Mastery describes how to love the path and progress, Flow describes how to stay engaged and progress when on the 'plateaus' that we all encounter along the path of Mastery. Either on their own is incomplete.
4.0 out of 5 stars A bit too shallow in covering the topics.
Short read. It is a good starter book for someone who has not read up much on this topic. I've been reading other books that cover this topic and they go more into depth, much more, than this book does. If you don't want to go deep into these subjects, this book is for you. It is written to be useful for everyone, open for whatever you are trying to master. Perhaps due to being so general, it cannot go into depth as that might require being more specific. I wish the author had written much more about how to identify a "master" or expert instructor or mentor, how to find one, and when to move on to another master in the future. I also disagree with his idea of when you hit a plateau, to just keep doing the same thing you are doing continuously until you break the plateau. He is correct in that "masters" keep training and practicing, but they also find ways to keep improving when they hit plateaus. They don't just accept they hit a plateau and just keep doing the same training. There are many more modern books written on breaking through plateaus and the general advice is to reflect and make changes to what you are doing to keep improving. To get to mastery, you need to be continuously improving, even if only by 1% at a time.
5.0 out of 5 stars Eye opening book
Mastery has given me tools to never give up.Learning never stops.If you want to succeed this book will give examples and the tools.I have learned so much from George Leonard and I can now see what I have to do to achieve my ambitions. I have read this book during lockdown a time where I had time to reminisce about the past and where I went wrong. The one thing I discovered was that I never listened to myself instead of other people who telling me to go in directions that left me completely miserable.For the first time in my life this book mastery has taught me to finally do the things I am strong and passionate about.Read this book and I hope you succeed and do something great.I would also like to recommend the following books:Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom Robert KiyosakiBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One Dr Joe DispanzaThe Chimp Paradox: The Acclaimed Mind Management Programme to Help You Achieve Success, Confidence and Happiness Professor Steve Peters
A book for Our Time - A Different Way to Approach Success
I cannot praise this book highly enough. It was recommended almost as an aside in a blog post I read. It offers a penetrating critique of modern culture and its obsession with quick-fixes and instant solutions. Instead it offers another understanding of success based upon ancient traditions found both in the West and the East - the idea of the Journey to Mastery. Full of insights on what mastery is and isn't, how to get there, what can get in the way (and how to overcome the common barriers), it is both practical and well written. It is applicable to anything from tennis to marriage and from the classroom to the boardroom. Best book I've read so far this year.
Un livre d'excellence" en marge de tous les autres best-sellers US Je ne peux que recommander.
L'un des meilleurs livres que j'ai eu le bonheur de dévorer...il est rare qu'un auteur avec un tel degré d'excellence ait une écriture aussi pleine d'humilite, d'intelligence d'esprit, de perspicacité. Il nous fait voyager au travers de sa propre expérience pour nous enseigner ce dont je n'aurai jamais pensé. Il nous donne des leçons en toute modestie mais qui sont réellement à intégrer et ce, quel que soit votre niveau social, background, situation personnelle ou professionnelle. Il se met tout simplement à notre hauteur qu'on soit parent, enfant, femme au foyer ou travailleur acharné....dans le développement personnel, c'est celui que je recommande car il est en marge des autres et des superlatifs à l'américaine. Son titre quant à lui "Mastery" vous en découvrirez le sens qui est tout sauf pompeux...
Libro veramente interessante e pieno di contenuti
L'autore mostra le diverse attitudini che ognuno di noi può avere nell'affrontare un percorso, un problema, una sfida.Devo dire che oltre che illuminante e divertente, il libro insegna veramente tanto e reputo che ogni persona che vuole migliorarsi e che voglia raggiungere degli obiettivi nella vita lo debba leggere.Stra-consigliato.Ah, l'inglese è abbastanza abbordabile (livello medio).Spero di esservi stato di aiuto.Ciao!
Definite Recommend
This book contains many wonderful insights and I've read it multiple times.
