About this book
Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise, published in 2016, was written by the psychologist K. Anders Ericsson and the science writer Robert Pool. Ericsson spent his career studying how experts in fields such as music, chess, medicine and sport reach their level.
The book explains his concept of deliberate practice, in which a learner works on specific goals just beyond their current ability with feedback from a skilled teacher. It questions the idea that extraordinary performance comes mainly from inborn talent and argues that training, correctly designed, can build abilities that seem out of reach. Ericsson died in 2020.
