Episode 4048: Benjamin Hardy explores how repeated practice and intentional overtraining can turn a learned behavior into an automatic part of your identity. Drawing on psychology and expert performance, he explains how increasing difficulty, pressure, and distraction can help you move beyond simple competence toward creativity, flexibility, and lasting personal growth. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://betterhumans.pub/the-science-of-automating-and-perfecting-any-skill-ea89f55b5f3e Quotes to ponder: \"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.\" \"Achieving “automaticity” is about making a newly learned skill a part of who you are, as opposed to just a thing you can do.\" \"Overtraining is about continuously practicing something you’ve already learned inside and out. Once you’ve over-learned a skill, you no longer need a script but can perform or even teach that skill in different ways and in different contexts.\" Episode references: Relentless: https://www.amazon.com/Relentless-Unstoppable-Athletes-Greatness-That-ebook/dp/B00FUZQYBO The Art of Learning: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Learning-Journey-Optimal-Performance/dp/0743277465 Learn more about your ad choices.
