THE FIRST 20 HOURS
How to Learn Anything…Fast!
A fascinating personal narrative and practitioner’s guide to becoming proficient in any skill in less than seven days, by the acclaimed, bestselling author of The Personal MBA.
Whatever you want to do with your life, you must master new skills. But where can you find the time? You are already busy—much too busy to spend the 10,000 hours authors like Malcolm Gladwell claim you’ll need to master a new skill. Moreover, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. If you can’t make it through the first 20 hours, you’ll never get to 10,000.
Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach for acquiring new skills quickly with a small amount of practice each day. He shows how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers, creating a realistic framework for drastically cutting the time it takes to acquire any skill. His methods apply to both business and personal challenges.
Kaufman shows us what happens when he field-tests his approach: learning, for example, how to program a web application, play the ukulele, practice yoga, get the hang of windsurfing, create illustrations, and learn the oldest and most complex board game in history.
Josh Kaufman is an independent business advisor and researcher who specializes in helping people make more money, get more done, and have more fun. Before creating PersonalMBA.com and writing The Personal MBA, he worked as a marketing manager for Procter & Gamble.
