On: I’m so sorry for psychology’s loss, whatever it is

I suppose but if someone actually practices something for 10K hours they are almost certainly going to be considerably better at it than people that do not even come close to that much practice. As they say in Pirates of the Caribbean - it's not a rule - think of them more as guidelines. I have always approached those types of books as opinion rather than fact. I think they are important for expanding ones views.

I mean yes the more you pratice the better you get... but it's hardly worth a HN comment, let alone a whole book. Let alone multiple books.

The real problem of the 10,000 hour rule is that it implis all the skills and professions are equally hard.

Agreed
