Summary:
Inspired by his young daughter's insatiable need to know how to do almost everything, and stymied by his own rut of mid-career competence, Tom Vanderbilt begins a year of learning purely for the sake of learning. He tackles five main skills, choosing them for their difficulty to master and their distinct lack of career marketability - chess, singing, surfing, drawing, and juggling. Weaving comprehensive research and surprising insight gained from his year of learning dangerously, Vanderbilt shows how anyone can get better at beginning again and why they should take those first awkward steps.
