Customer Rating: Summary: Mastery-The Keys To Success and Long-Term Fulfillment Comment: I am a Certified Business and Life Coach and I highly recommend the book, "Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment". This book is one that I often suggest to clients who are looking to master different things in their lives and I have only received positive feedback from them.
In this book, Leonard gives us terrific examples and metaphor to explain 'mastery'. He gives us the tools and guidelines we need to achieve it. Drawing from his wisdom, Leonard is a 'master' himself at educating us on the five essential keys to mastery.
The subject matter of the book can be taken from the title and nothing more need be said.

Certified Business and Life Coach Customer Rating: Summary: Simple and Profound book on Mastering Your Life Comment: This is one of the most simple but profound books on how to Master Your Life. It gives you a simple blueprint for Mastery. I highly recommend it. Very practical and useful. Customer Rating: Summary: How to be a master of EVERYTHING Comment: This book is what you need if you desire to master any skill. I'm a musician - a pianist - with a degree in music. I was "stuck" technically and wanted to go to the next level. George Leonard showed me how to get there. I have shared his principles with many people who also have desired to go to a higher level in other skills. Customer Rating: Summary: Time for Mastery Comment: "We fail to realize that mastery is not about perfection. It's about a process, a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for as long as he or she lives." ~ George Leonard from "Mastery"
Mastery.
If we have any desire to live at our highest potential, we MUST master the concept of Mastery. And George Leonard, a life-long learner, educator, teacher, author, and Aikido master is our ideal teacher.
This booked is packed with simple, profound truths aimed at helping us re-orient ourselves from ineffective Dabbler, Obsessive and Hacker approaches to life to one of Mastery. Life's too short for anything other than our best, wouldn't you agree?
My vote: let's dedicate our lives to a path of Mastery. Starting now. (And this book is a great place to start. :) Customer Rating: Summary: Mastery and Superperformance Comment: From studying mastery in business I can attest to the same pattern George describes in Mastery. Superperforming organizations become masters through discovering the Seabiscuit inside and letting him run. Mozart's quote captures it and to my mind, characterizes the coming transformation economy, "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
