Lee Davy shares a few lessons learned from the Swedish psychologist K. Anders Ericsson on introducing deliberate practice into your life so you can achieve anything.

There is a question I ask everyone I interview.

“If you had 10,000 hours to learn anything, what would you choose and why?”

I heard of the notion that spending 10,000 hours of practice would lead to mastery after reading the Malcolm Gladwell book Outliers. During one of my interviews (I think it was Andrew Seidman) he put me straight. Although Gladwell wrote about the rule in Outliers, the source of the information came from the Swedish psychologist K.Anders Ericsson.
