Mastery: The Keys to Success and Fulfillment
In “Mastery,” Robert Greene draws on the lives of historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci, and Albert Einstein, as well as contemporary masters, to reveal the path to greatness. He argues that we all have the potential for mastery, and he provides a roadmap for achieving it.
The Three Phases of Mastery
Greene outlines three phases in the journey to mastery:
- The Apprenticeship Phase: This is the initial stage of learning, where you acquire the fundamental skills of your chosen field.
- The Creative-Active Phase: In this phase, you begin to experiment and develop your own unique style.
- The Mastery Phase: This is the highest level of achievement, where you have a deep, intuitive understanding of your subject.
