« Il y a tant de choses que je voudrais faire... et j'ai si peu de temps. » Arrêtez-vous un moment pour songer au nombre de choses que vous aimeriez savoir faire. Qu'y a-t-il sur votre liste ? Qu'est-ce qui vous empêche de vous lancer ? Deux choses, très probablement : le temps et la compétence. Voilà une vérité dérangeante : dans la vie, les expériences les plus gratifiantes exigent presque toujours un certain niveau de compétence. Maîtriser une compétence réclame du temps et des efforts. Le temps, on ne l'a pas, les efforts, on n'y tient pas.
Ce livre relate la quête personnelle de l'auteur en vue de tester l'art et la science de l'acquisition rapide des compétences. Ce livre a pour but de vous aider à acquérir de nouvelles compétences en un temps record grâce à la présentation des principes et plusieurs études de cas. D'après son expérience, il faut à peu près vingt heures de pratique pour passer du stade où l'on ne sait absolument rien de ce qu'on voudrait faire à celui où l'on se débrouille raisonnablement bien. Quelle que soit la compétence que vous désirez acquérir, ce livre vous aidera à y parvenir en moins de temps et en gaspillant moins d'énergie !
