About This Book

Why do we often abandon our goals when progress is slow or failure gets in the way? In The Practicing Mind, Thomas M. Sterner explores how the principles we naturally use when learning as children can help us approach adult goals with greater patience, discipline and focus.

The book explains the importance of practice as a process—choosing a goal, applying consistent effort and learning through repetition and trial and error. Instead of viewing practice as an exhausting path towards mastery, Sterner encourages readers to discover satisfaction in the process itself.

Whether the challenge involves work, parenting, sports, creative pursuits or learning a new skill, the principles in this book can help readers develop a more balanced approach to progress. By shifting attention from immediate results to the process of improvement, readers can cultivate greater discipline and clarity.
