10,000 hours to become an expert? Sorry, that number is off

Fair enough. I read Blink and rather enjoyed it, in a breezy introduction-to-themes, Kurzgesagt way. Reading Gladwell felt to me like a bit like Taubes: a well researched and neatly presented idea collage that’s not particularly deep, but doesn’t pretend to be. The appendixes and footnotes do point to the deeper resources you might be interested in if depth is your thing, as they should. Good enough for me.
