Summary: Talent, in the way we traditionally think of it, is not what makes a skilled performer. It is practice that involves struggle and failure in a miniature form. This "deep practice" is described by the author as "operating at the edges of you ability." A small amount of this deep practice can go a long way.
Key Concepts: Deep practice consists of multiple encounters with failure and subsequent correction in a concentrated time period.
Key Terms:
Deep Practice
"The Sweet Spot"
Making Connections:
This chapter indicates that the only way to achieve success is through failure and struggle. In my singing and personal life, I would like be less afraid of messing something up before I try it. Because if I never try it, I'll never achieve success.
