You either have it or you don’t. Old dogs can’t learn new tricks. It takes 10,000 hours to master a skill.
When it comes to learning, these ideas have been repeated so often they are now accepted as truth. But they are myths and misconceptions, and believing them can hurt our progress, give us a poor perception of our capabilities, and even keep us from learning something in the first place.
In his book Learn, Improve, Master, Nick Velasquez is on a mission to replace fictions with realities and transform vague ambitions into a clear path forward so you can learn anything fast.
Nick has spent years researching the sciences of learning, cognitive psychology, peak performance, and mastery.
