We pay tribute to K. Anders Ericsson in today's episode.  He is known by many to be "the expert on expertise." His work, along with his colleagues had a profound impact on a wide array of professional domains such as sports, music, chess, and more recently in the field of psychotherapy. His four decades worth of research also informed the hugely popular book by Malcolm Gladwell, Outlier. (Though the "10,000hr" rule thing got misrepresented by others). ~~~ In this episode, you'd hear - the impact he had on me personally. - the foreword that he wrote for our book, Better Results (co-authored with Scott Miller and Mark Hubble, APA, 2020), and - a short poem I wrote in Oct 23, 2010 that was dedicated to him.  Better Results book was also dedicated to Dr. Ericsson.  ~~~ Show Notes: Peak by Ericsson and Pool Ericsson, Krampe and Teach-Römer's seminal article on The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance The Music of Psychotherapy: Learning in a Wicked Environment (a blogpost I wrote  in Aug 2019 about my first encounter with Ericsson in Kansas City) Scott Miller's recent interview with Ericsson.

#7. A Tribute to K. Anders Ericsson

I found myself telling this story to me kids some nights ago. I believe it's worth retelling here, especially in the current anxious climate surrounding the coronavirus. After the story, I say a few words about why we need to express our heartfelt thanks to people behind the scenes in our healthcare. Plus, why we must support our local communities and businesses when this comes to pass. And finally, news about our Deep Learner workshop, plus giveaway of the audiobook version of my book. Promo code is given near the end of this episode. Thank you for listening. Thank you for your continued care of your clients in therapy through this global pandemic. Take precious care. p/s: Due to copyrights reason, I'm not able to use a song that you must listen in these times. Play George Harrison's All Things Must Pass after listening to this episode. 

#6. All Things Shall Pass

"I spent half of my life lost in an education system that pushed for results and performance... and failed.. Even when I Began to perform well in undergrad and so on, I wasn't learning; I was performing." In today's episode, we draw a distinction between "performing" and "learning," and what we can do to become deep learners.

#5. When Performing Impedes Learning

No manufacturing company in the US and UK was initially willing to license his vacuum cleaner.  James Dyson was laughed at for designing a transparent vacuum cleaner that showed all the filth it sucked up.  Today, Dyson the company returns over $500 million in annual profits and employs nearly seven thousand people worldwide. Had the founder given up on the “bagless” vacuum cleaner idea, Dyson would be just another name. Turns out, therapists have one critical thing to learn from James Dyson's innovation: Making progress visible. --- Also, listen at the end for a really important question from one of our listeners.
