Taylor reviewed Decoding Greatness by Ron Friedman
Review of 'Decoding Greatness' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
What a quality collection of practices for self-taught learning, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Patterns, originality, metrics, reflection, desirable difficulties, risk, feedback, and mastery were some of the main topics. Engaging stories and scientific studies accompany the lessons. The content overlaps with many books in meta-learning genre, but this one may take first place in the quality and quantity of topics. Personally I felt it to be an (updated) combination of these (also excellent) books:
