Expert Enough: The Lost Art of Becoming Good at Things
Today's site, from Corbett Barr and Caleb Wojick, offers an interesting premise
-- that it's only necessary to be reasonably proficient in a field in order to
achieve desirable goals. Gentle Subscribers will discover an interesting
approach to self-improvement which concentrates on the modestly attainable --
how to become "good enough."
"Since 2011, we've been asking questions about what it means to become an
expert, what it takes, and whether being an 'expert' is really all that
important. ... What we've found, through all of our interviews and research is
this: For most people, success and happiness doesn't require becoming the
world's greatest expert. It's more effective to become just expert enough to
accomplish your goals. ... It requires surprisingly little effort in most
fields to gain more expertise than 95% of people." - from the website
This minimalist designed blog provides straightforward articles focused on
motivating readers to improve their skills in order to achieve their goals.
Topics addressed in the presentation cover a variety of areas, from overcoming
a fear of public speaking to starting a business without investors, with down
to earth advice. Showcased on the homepage are the categories of Most Popular
and Most Recent posts which include The Expert Enough Manifesto, 5 Writing Tips
from Stephen King, and Become an Expert DJ in Two Months. Although the blog has
not been updated recently, the archived articles contain a useful collection of
tips and how-to's.
