The best way to become good at something might surprise you - David Epstein

2025 • E89    Nov 4, 2025    6m
There’s a common idea that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to become great at something. From an early age, we are encouraged to choose our path, focus specifically, and start racking up those hours. But, what if these head starts aren’t helping us the way we think they do? What if there’s a better way to excel? David Epstein shares how a different approach could set us up for greater success.

Directed by Avi Ofer.
