Anders Ericsson, first author of [easyazon_link identifier="0544947223" locale="US" tag="emcrit-20"]Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise[/easyazon_link]. Dr. Ericsson is a brilliant cognitive psychologist, currently at the Florida State. He has dedicated his career to studying the science of expertise and performance. He was incredibly generous with his time, to the tune of a 2-hour interview. In the podcast below, I excerpted some of the most interesting pieces, but it was all great. If you want to listen to the unedited, full interview I have placed a link below.
