Robert Greene's book "Mastery," a self-help book exploring the strategies and principles of achieving mastery in any field. The excerpt focuses on the apprenticeship phase, which Greene defines as the initial stage of learning and acquiring skills. He argues that this phase is crucial for transforming one's mind and character, moving from a naïve, subjective perspective to a more grounded, objective understanding of the chosen field. The text examines key elements of this process, including identifying one's calling, finding mentors, developing social intelligence, and overcoming the psychological and emotional barriers that often impede learning.
