The Expertise Myth - Rethinking the Nature of Skill and Achievement

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopsis

In a world awash with information and complexity, expertise has become more crucial than ever before. From the boardroom to the laboratory, from the concert hall to the operating room, experts are the ones who drive progress, solve problems, and shape the future.

Yet, despite its importance, there are many misconceptions about expertise. Some believe that experts are born, not made. Others believe that expertise is limited to a select few geniuses. And still others believe that expertise is something that can only be acquired through years of formal education.

This book challenges these myths and reveals the true nature of expertise. Drawing on the latest research in cognitive psychology, education, and neuroscience, this book provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the cognitive processes, deliberate practice strategies, and motivational factors that underlie expert performance.

Through engaging stories and case studies of experts from diverse fields, this book illustrates how expertise is developed and how it can be applied to achieve extraordinary results in any domain. It also explores the challenges and limitations of expertise, as well as its implications for education, public policy, and the future of work.

Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply someone who is curious about the extraordinary abilities of the human mind, this book will provide you with a deeper understanding of expertise and inspire you to develop your own skills and achieve your full potential.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the nature of expertise, develop their own skills, or make a difference in the world.

Ooi Kee Beng

Malaysia is no easy country to analyse, or even to understand. With so many narratives about the country, its peoples, and its histories, the noise generated — both online and off — can be as deafening as that of any rave party. 
 
Since 2019, Malaysians have lived through a unique period in the country’s history: Amid the Covid pandemic and its many challenges, Malaysia experienced three prime minister changes, and countless other political dramas and plot twists. 
 
Signals in the Noise is not just a book on politics, though. Moving with ease between different sociopolitical and socioeconomic discourses, this collection of Ooi Kee Beng’s columns and commentaries — published between 2019 and 2023 — showcases more than ever his talent as a historian and philosopher, alongside his prowess as a political scientist. 
 
This wide-ranging collection is a must-read beginner's guide to Malaysian politics. It also highlights Ooi’s love for his hometown of Penang, his concern for the environment, and how the arts define a society and its perceptions of the world.

8 Signs You're Dating a...

John Harpoon

Understanding sociopathy in relationships is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from emotional and psychological harm. Sociopaths, also known as individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder, often exhibit a pattern of manipulation, deceit, and a lack of empathy. They can be charming, persuasive, and seemingly perfect at first, making it difficult to identify their true nature until significant damage has been done. Dating a sociopath can leave a person feeling confused, drained, and emotionally broken. The signs are often subtle at the beginning but become increasingly apparent as the relationship progresses.
Sociopaths thrive on control, often using charm to gain trust before revealing their darker tendencies. Their relationships are not based on genuine love or connection but rather on dominance and personal gain. They have an uncanny ability to read people, identifying vulnerabilities and using them to manipulate emotions. What may start as an exciting and passionate romance can quickly turn into a toxic and draining experience. The cycle of idealization, devaluation, and eventual discard leaves their partners questioning their own reality.
Recognizing the signs of sociopathy early in a relationship can help prevent long-term emotional trauma. Sociopaths lack the ability to form real emotional bonds, making their relationships superficial and self-serving. Their actions are often calculated, and their words are designed to elicit specific reactions. They may lie compulsively, gaslight their partners into doubting their own perceptions, and shift blame to avoid accountability. Over time, their behavior escalates, leaving their victims feeling trapped and emotionally depleted.
