🎨 Impressions

A bit too short. Some chapters could have benefited from a few more words.

How I Discovered It

I had it in my TODOs for a while, I don't remember.

Who Should Read It?

Everyone. If you are someone practicing something or coaching someone (at an amateur level that is) you might find a tip useful for you. Even advanced user might find something useful, but at that level, depending on the kind of skill you are practicing, a coach or mentor might be more useful.

🍀 How the Book Changed Me

I was already aware of the importance of practice in determining one's perceived talent. As I'm not really practicing anything worth discussing about now I haven't changed anything in my routine, but in the future it will be convenient to have the book at hand and review it once in a while.

📒 Summary + Notes
