November 29 4 Book Salon for Curious Readers
Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment
by George Leonard
This is a moldy oldie. The book has been a Salon book twice before. It is a classic and deserves to be reviewed periodically. It started out as an article in Esquire magazine in the ’80s.
Why bother to read (or re-read) it?
The original article and expanded book, raised timeless questions about achievement, accomplishment, recognition, and personal satisfaction. Join us for a fascinating discussion: what is the nature of mastery? What does it take to become a “master” of something? What light is shed by modern neuroscience on the pursuit of mastery? You may make some discoveries in reading the book that surprise you.
