Ciao Max, you lucky guy who had the opportunity to interview him when he was still in life.

[James_Bowie]

The concept of continuous improvement (originally known as: plan, do, check, adjust) has been around in manufacturing since the 1920s. Applying it to personal improvement in any field of endeavor seems to be an obvious course.

[jasonropata]

I just found this, thank you so much for posting this. I've been trying to apply this to my art studies (learning to draw the figure and portraits etc...) any tips on how I could improve on this?

[thebigredfish]

wow, good thing he's talking about skills and not about office organization.

[pwshungary]

Sorry to say but the reaction of the interviewer just freaks me in here!
Anders Ericsson gives amazing and very deep valuable answers and interviewer tells, cool, good, or often he does not even say anything after a long explanation!
Hey dude my advice is to learn a bit of communication ethics before interviewing persons at this quality !
There is such a huge contrast between the the two persons quality of talking, approach and attitude that it creams and this has made me very annoyed!
But yes definitely thank you to Anders Ericsson to keep his flawless attitude and for his valuable speech!

He really isn't very clear in his definition of deliberate practice. I really dont believe the way you practice makes that much difference.Talent is more important. The evidence doesn't support the role of deliberate practice
