“So is stressing the idea of “deliberate practice,” a concept developed by the psychologist K. Anders Ericsson to describe how elite performers develop and maintain their expertise. “The right sort of practice carried over a sufficient period of time leads to improvement,” Ericsson explains. “Nothing else.”9”
Patrick Barry, Good with Words: Writing and Editing

“more people will decide to have a surgery if they are told that the “survival rate is 90%” than if they are told that the “mortality rate is 10%.”3”
Patrick Barry, Good with Words: Writing and Editing

“Ericsson and Pool make clear that deliberate practice “takes place outside one’s comfort zone and requires a student to constantly try things that are just beyond his or her current abilities.”
Patrick Barry, Good with Words: Writing and Editing
