An interesting read. The author undertook six new skills in a single year and succeeded at them all. This book outlines the strategy he used and promises that we can also use them to acquire nearly any skill we desire. Though the book is titled "The First 20 Hours," it should be noted that some skills took significantly less time and others took slightly more. The 20 hours is a good rule of thumb, however, to keep in mind when embarking as it provides a goal post that can carry you through the frustrating start-up period.
Aprendizaje acelerado, tal vez sea cierto. No existen fórmulas mágicas para la adquisición de habilidades, solo con una férrea fuerza de voluntad lograremos aprender nuevas cosas...El libro es solo el programa (muy personal) del autor acerca de cómo aprendió nueve habilidades nuevas para él. Presenta datos interesantes pero no me inspira a aprender... Las dos estrellas son por las dos últimas líneas del libro, en las que hace un llamado a aprovechar nuestro tiempo para aprender nuevas habilidades... CARPE DIEM.
Better than I expected; found some of the case studies really inspiring.
Good insight but hard to emulate
