Attaining Mastery
A path to mastery requires synthesizing diverse knowledge, expanding your perspective, and deeply connecting with your environment. Concepts echoed by Robert Greene and Idris Mootee as essential yet challenging in practice.
There are many ways to attain mastery; the three that stood out to me were synthesizing all forms of knowledge, widening your vision, and connecting to your environment. Robert Greene goes in-depth with all his steps, highlighting a few in his Talks at Google on Mastery. In Design Thinking for Strategic Innovation, many of these steps from Mastery are sprinkled throughout Idris Mootee’s writing. Like mastery, design thinking looks simple on paper but is challenging in practice. When deep into an organization, bias and general complacency become hard to overcome.
