Summary
Where do people’s extraordinary abilities come from? Besides innate endowments, the answer is practice.It is not the practice in a traditional sense, but purposeful or deliberate practice. It is the most effective and most powerful types of practice that work by harnessing the adaptability of the human body and brain to create, step by step, the ability to do things that were previously not possible.
Furthermore, why and how does it work? Studies show that our body and brain are incredibly adaptable. So it is possible to shape the brain and body through deliberate training. Different from traditional approach, deliberate practice requires challenging homeostasis—getting out of our comfort zone—and forcing our brain or body to adapt .
Thus, we have purposeful? practice in a nutshell:Get outside our comfort zone but do it in a focused way, with clear goals, a plan for reaching those goals, and a way to monitor the progress. And figure out a way to maintain our motivation.
幾點(diǎn)收獲：
讀過第一二章，有以下幾點(diǎn)值得學(xué)習(xí)借鑒：
1、寫作的邏輯性狰腌。在謀篇布局方面除破，如何有條理地運(yùn)用大量案例？例如：在第一章中琼腔，里面有大量的事例瑰枫，既有第一手的實(shí)驗(yàn)案例，也有涉及馬拉松丹莲，跳水光坝、鋼琴、記憶練習(xí)等多方面的數(shù)據(jù)和事例圾笨。作者開篇就使用的Steve的例子教馆，也就是自己的第一手實(shí)驗(yàn)例子，因?yàn)榈谝皇值陌咐龑?duì)于讀者而言更具說服力擂达；其次作者將大量的案例緊隨其后土铺，緊緊圍繞開篇的案例，鞏固驗(yàn)證了自己實(shí)驗(yàn)的正確性和可行性板鬓。如果顛倒過來悲敷，先拋出大量二手事例，再寫自己的實(shí)驗(yàn)俭令，讀者就感覺有些凌亂后德，搞不清這么多事例的重點(diǎn)在哪里。這對(duì)于我們?cè)趯懽髦羞\(yùn)用案例有啟示抄腔。
又如瓢湃，在第一章中說明觀點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，作者其實(shí)是分兩層推進(jìn)的赫蛇，第一層绵患，非同尋常的成績可以通過練習(xí)獲得；第二層悟耘，這種練習(xí)不是傳統(tǒng)意義的練習(xí)落蝙，而是有意識(shí)的練習(xí)，即刻意練習(xí)暂幼。如果讓我來寫筏勒，很可能就直接寫“非同尋常的成績通過刻意練習(xí)獲得”。而我們知道“練習(xí)”和“刻意練習(xí)”是不同的概念旺嬉，混在一起寫的話管行，會(huì)感覺眉毛胡子一把抓。如果一下子說不清的話鹰服，不妨分開幾個(gè)論點(diǎn)闡述或推進(jìn)病瞳。
2揽咕、寫作的手法—總-分-總+but 的運(yùn)用。在第二章的論述中大量使用了這一模式套菜。例如在Shaping the Brain一節(jié)（見下圖）亲善。這種論述模式簡潔明了，既把主要問題理清逗柴，又通過but將一些例外或注意事項(xiàng)加入蛹头，總體邏輯嚴(yán)密，條理清楚戏溺。這樣的寫作手法值得借鑒渣蜗。
3、具有實(shí)踐指導(dǎo)意義的是：遇到“瓶頸問題”旷祸，怎么努力也停滯不前怎么辦耕拷？作者給出了三個(gè)解決的思路：
⑴不要死磕。The solution is not “try harder ”but rather “try differently ”托享。遇到困難骚烧，一味沖鋒陷陣不是好方法，搞不好信心大挫闰围，鎩羽而歸赃绊。此時(shí)可行的辦法是廣開思路，尋求別的解決辦法繞開障礙物羡榴。另外終于知道“死磕”用英語怎么表達(dá)了碧查，don’t try harder !
⑵求助高人。The best way to get past any barrier is to come at it from a different direction.高人也曾經(jīng)經(jīng)歷過你所面臨的挫折校仑，所以他們會(huì)給出靠譜的建議忠售。
⑶克服心理障礙。有些時(shí)候我們做事情迄沫，不是因?yàn)槲覀冏霾怀傻祷荆且驗(yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為我們做不成，而且通常是在認(rèn)知上出現(xiàn)了偏差邢滑，比如steve記憶數(shù)字串的例子，在挑戰(zhàn)更長的數(shù)串時(shí)愿汰，他認(rèn)為是數(shù)串的長度限制了記憶困后，而實(shí)際上問題在于他編碼的速度。當(dāng)他意識(shí)到自己的心理認(rèn)知偏差并迅速調(diào)整后衬廷，問題自然迎刃而解了摇予。我感覺這就是一個(gè)paradigm shift的過程，運(yùn)用七個(gè)習(xí)慣里面分析問題的方式吗跋，當(dāng)我們將“outside-in”的模式切換到“inside-out”,視角的變換會(huì)影響我們思考和解決問題的方式侧戴。再以steve的例子分析宁昭，他開始以為是外界outside（數(shù)串長短）影響了他挑戰(zhàn)高階，而事實(shí)上當(dāng)他轉(zhuǎn)變視角酗宋，從inside（自己編碼的速度）來看待問題時(shí)积仗，這個(gè)paradigm shift的過程就幫他找到了解決問題的方法，突破了瓶頸蜕猫。
