Easy but powerful
a book that explains the process is becoming something we want. like a manual for becoming s master. The last chapter, about becoming a learner has thought me I need to find a learner in me again.

Very clever and vastly experienced writer. Excellent conceptually and beautifully put together.
The narrator is rather robotic and speaks too fast. In some ways this doesn’t matter, as a soporific narration wouldn’t be too good either. I found the content excellent but the reading (AI?) somewhat irritating.

Good listen
I read as an assignment. As a master of 2 skills (grandmaster of 1), I would say that the knowledge in this book is spot on.
If you are reading this then you should just get the book. Yes, it old wine new bottle but it is accurate and doesn't take long. what you waiting for.
If you're about to start a new skill. Make a target destination, plan out your route, take a minute to find your feet then take each street at a time not only as part of the over all journey, but as one in its own right. If one street seems boringly easy then focus in on subtleties like posture and and effective relaxed walking.
If your looking for a read just to kill time I would recommend something else.

Too much 70s hippy kungfu, not enough mastery
Very disappointed. I had heard good things about this book. The first couple of chapters are interesting, but it's quickly evident that he has nothing of value to say.
To spare you buying the book, all you need to know is: "Practice". When you plateau, enjoy it for its own sake, not what it brings. Don't worry, you'll get there.

Very lightweight, no real advice nor deep thoughts
Not sure why people give 5 stars score. It’s very lightweight book. There are merely a thoughts about approach to success then keys.
Would you see the advice to get more sleep as ground breaking news?
Author talks a lot about his Aikido lessons and how you need to practice and be humble to evolve. A bit about his students at flight school when he put more attention to skilled and less to mediocre.
At the end talks through some breathing exercises - pointless.
The only useful thoughts from this 3 hour read is that if you would like to start to master your skills then you need to remember
A) that it takes time to learn an practice and we live in times when adverts, movies etc shows us that it can be achieve almost instantly, which can be demotivating
B) during your way to your mastery you will get stuck and it will take longer chunks of time to move to another level - but there is no advice how to over come those and keep in mind that all the book is like that - lightweight.
Summary: in 1991 it could be not bad book but in 2019 it simply is not good enough.
There is much more useful content in Brian Tracey productions.
