The Practicing Mind: Developing Focus and Discipline in Your Life Master Any Skill or Challenge by Learning to Love the Process
Autor Thomas M. Sterneren Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 apr 2012
În aceste vremuri în care dorim să ne însușim noi cunoștințe sau să facem față formidabilelor provocări avem nevoie de răbdare, concentrare și disciplină, lucruri care par dificile și instabile.
În acest volum practic, Thomas Sterner demonstrează cum însușirea unor abilități necesită o apropiere afectivă față de procesul de învățare.
Prima parte a vieții este despre încercări și greșeli. Dacă cedăm în fața eșecului, repetivității și a dificultății niciodată nu vom fi în stare de reușită.
Așa că de ce de fiecare dată când eșuăm în viețile noastre de adulți trebuie să renunțăm la scop?
În studiul său despre învățare, Thomas Sterner arată cum am pierdut procesul practicii - procesul alegerii unui scop și a aplicării unor metode imediate pentru a-l atinge.
Metodele propuse de Sterner te învață cum practica bine făcută în drumul spre perfecționare duce la construirea disciplinei și a definirii.

Descriere scurtă
In those times when we want to acquire a new skill or face a formidable challenge we hope to overcome, what we need most are patience, focus, and discipline, traits that seem elusive or difficult to maintain. In this enticing and practical book, Thomas Sterner demonstrates how to learn skills for any aspect of life, from golfing to business to parenting, by learning to love the process.
Early life is all about trial-and-error practice. If we had given up in the face of failure, repetition, and difficulty, we would never have learned to walk or tie our shoes. So why, as adults, do we often give up on a goal when at first we don’t succeed? In his study of how we learn (prompted by his pursuit of disciplines such as music and golf), Sterner has found that we have forgotten the principles of practice — the process of picking a goal and applying steady effort to reach it. The methods Sterner teaches show that practice done properly isn’t drudgery on the way to mastery but a fulfilling process in and of itself, one that builds discipline and clarity.
