内容简介
-This book is a breakthrough, a lyrical, powerful, science-based narrative that actually shows us how to get better (much better) at the things we care about.---Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
-Anyone who wants to get better at anything should read [Peak]. Rest assured that the book is not mere theory. Ericsson's research focuses on the real world, and he explains in detail, with examples, how all of us can apply the principles of great performance in our work or in any other part of our lives.---Fortune
Anders Ericsson has made a career studying chess champions, violin virtuosos, star athletes, and memory mavens. Peak distills three decades of myth-shattering research into a powerful learning strategy that is fundamentally different from the way people traditionally think about acquiring new abilities. Whether you want to stand out at work, improve your athletic or musical performance, or help your child achieve academic goals, Ericsson's revolutionary methods will show you how to improve at almost any skill that matters to you.
-The science of excellence can be divided into two eras: before Ericsson and after Ericsson. His groundbreaking work, captured in this brilliantly useful book, provides us with a blueprint for achieving the most important and life-changing work possible: to become a little bit better each day.---Dan Coyle, author of The Talent Code
-Ericsson's research has revolutionized how we think about human achievement. If everyone would take the lessons of this book to heart, it could truly change the world.---Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein

This is an empowering, encouraging work that will challenge readers to reach for excellence. Publishers Weekly
[Ericsson] makes a strong case that success in today s world requires a focus on practical performance, not just the accumulation of information. Especially informative for parents and educators in preparing children for the challenges ahead. Kirkus Reviews
This book is a breakthrough, a lyrical, powerful, science-based narrative that actually shows us how to get better (much better) at the things we care about. Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
Most important books aren t much fun to read. Most fun books aren t very important. But with Peak, Anders Ericsson (with great work from Robert Pool) has hit the daily double. After all, who among us doesn t want to learn how to get better at life? A remarkable distillation of a remarkable lifetime of work. Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics and Superfreakonomics
Ericsson s research has revolutionized how we think about human achievement. He has found that what separates the best of us from the rest is not innate talent but simply the right kind of training and practice. If everyone would take the lessons of this book to heart, it could truly change the world. Joshua Foer, author of Moonwalking with Einstein

这本书的结构设计得极为精巧,它不是简单的线性叙述,而是在不同的主题模块之间进行巧妙的穿插和呼应。例如,当讲到如何界定和设计有效练习任务时,作者会突然穿插一个关于某位顶尖音乐家如何处理演奏瓶颈的故事,这个故事的功能不是为了增加趣味性,而是为了从实践层面印证前述理论的有效性。这种“理论—案例—再理论深化”的循环往复,使得知识的吸收率大大提高。我发现,我以前总是在“知道”某个概念和“真正掌握”某个概念之间徘徊不前,而这本书似乎为我们架起了这座桥梁。它强调的那个“关键点”——不仅仅是重复,而是带着明确目标、在“恰到好处的难度区间”内进行有意识的调整——这个细节的区分,是许多同类书籍忽略的。我甚至已经开始尝试将书中的一些练习设计原则应用到我的日常工作报告撰写中,虽然只是微小的改动,但效果立竿见影,这让我对这本书的实操价值深信不疑。
评分这本书给我带来的最大改变,或许在于心态上的重塑,它让我对“挫折”的定义发生了根本性的变化。过去,一次失败的尝试意味着我的能力不足;而现在,我将其视为一份宝贵的、高精度的“数据反馈”,告诉我哪些路径需要修正,哪些技巧需要打磨。这种将每一次失误都视为学习机会的视角转换,极大地减轻了我在面对挑战时的心理压力。我不再惧怕暴露自己的弱点,因为我知道,弱点正是那块最需要被“刻意”磨砺的璞玉。这本书没有给我任何可以一蹴而就的捷径,但它却提供了一张极其详尽的、通往精通之路的地图,并且清晰地标明了路上可能出现的陷阱和休息站。看完之后,我感到的是一种沉甸甸的责任感和清晰的行动方向,而不是那种读完励志小说后的短暂亢奋。这绝对是一本值得反复阅读并将其方法论融入生活实践的经典之作。
评分读完前几章后,我的感受是作者的叙事节奏掌握得非常好,他没有急于抛出那些重磅理论,而是花了大量篇幅去构建一个宏大的背景,让我们理解“天赋”这个概念在现代认知科学看来是多么的站不住脚。这种铺垫非常高明,它先是瓦解了我们固有的思维定势,然后才开始小心翼翼地引导我们进入一个全新的认知框架。我特别欣赏他引用了大量跨学科的研究成果,从神经科学到运动心理学,这些支撑材料让整本书读起来充满了智识上的愉悦感。我感觉自己像是在听一场顶级的学术讲座,但讲述者又极富个人魅力,总能用通俗易懂的比喻来解释那些复杂的机制,比如关于“心智模型”和“反馈回路”的阐述,简直是醍醐灌顶。这本书不是那种让你读完后感觉“哦,原来如此”就束之高阁的读物,它更像是一把钥匙,打开了我对自身学习潜能的全新认知。我发现自己开始反思过去所有失败的学习经历,不是因为我不够努力,而是因为我的“努力”方向可能从一开始就偏离了轨道。
评分这本书的封面设计很有冲击力,那种深邃的蓝色和白色的字体搭配,立刻抓住了我的眼球。我一直对那些能帮助人实现“飞跃式成长”的理论特别感兴趣,而这本书的书名和宣传语似乎都在暗示着它蕴含着某种被隐藏起来的、能让人突破瓶颈的“秘密”。拿到书的那一刻,我最期待的就是它能不能提供一套真正可行、不再是空泛说教的训练方法。我希望它能像一个经验丰富的老教练一样,直接告诉我,那些在特定领域里出类拔萃的人,他们日复一日的训练究竟有哪些细微但至关重要的差别。市面上很多所谓的“成功学”书籍,读起来总是感觉有点漂浮,缺乏坚实的科学依据或者可操作的步骤。我希望这本能打破这种常规,给我提供一套可以量化、可以追踪进度的“刻意”指南,而不是仅仅鼓舞士气。我甚至在想,作者是不是会分享一些他访谈过的大师们的真实案例,那些不为人知的训练细节,比如他们是如何应对疲劳、如何调整心态以确保每一次练习都达到最佳效果。对我来说,这本书的价值不在于它说了什么“努力很重要”这样老生常谈的道理,而在于它能揭示“如何有效努力”的底层逻辑。
评分坦白说,阅读这本书的过程并非一帆风顺,它对读者的专注度和理解力提出了很高的要求。在某些深入探讨大脑可塑性机制的部分,我不得不放慢速度,甚至需要停下来查阅一些相关的背景知识,才能完全领会作者的论点。这种“需要用力啃”的感觉,反而让我觉得这是一本真正的硬核书籍,而不是那种可以用来打发时间的消遣品。它挑战了我们对“舒适区”的依赖,不断地提醒你,真正的进步就发生在那些略感不适、需要全力以赴调动认知资源的那一刻。我尤其喜欢作者对于“动机的来源”的剖析,他指出,长期的坚持往往不是靠外界的奖励或惩罚,而是源于对掌握过程本身的纯粹热爱和对自身能力的持续确认。这种对内在驱动力的挖掘,比单纯地教你如何“管理时间”要深刻得多,因为它触及了行为的根本原因。
