Summary of George Leonard's Mastery

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The path to mastery is a process that involves taking small steps. It begins with you deciding to learn any new skill, and it can be applied to both physical and mental skills.

#2 The plateau is a form of purgatory for most people raised in this society. It triggers disowned emotions and flushes out hidden motivations. It can take many years to master a skill, and even when you do, you shouldn’t try to win until you have reasonable control of your skills.

#3 The choice to pursue mastery is a common one in life, and it comes up in many different contexts. We are often tempted to drop a difficult sport or task to pursue something easier, or we might try twice as hard and still not make any progress.

#4 All of us who are born without serious genetic defects are born geniuses. We can master the overarching symbolic system of spoken language, and we can decode and express the subtleties of emotional nuance. We can also invent things never before seen, ask questions never before asked, and seek answers from out beyond the stars.
