More importantly, the lead researcher of the study himself doesn’t even seem to agree with the magical 10,000 hour rule. This is a type of practice that is systematic and purposeful, with the specific goal of improving performance, and requires focused attention rather than mindless repetitions. Practice doesn’t make perfectįirst, the study wasn’t about studying a topic for a specific amount of time. Study whichever topic for 10,000 hours, and you will master it. This is from the abstract: “Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the result of intense practice extended for a minimum of 10 years.” Malcolm Gladwell branded this the 10,000 hour rule. The book mentioned a study of violin students at a German music academy. In 2008, Malcolm Gladwell published his popular book Outliers, exploring why some seemingly extraordinary people achieve much more than others. Whether athletes, chefs, or musicians, some of the biggest celebrities are considered masters of their craft, and we admire the long hours they put into practicing over and over again the same skills so they could become second nature.
