Summary:
"Adam Gopnik is a staff writer at The New Yorker. He has won three National Magazine Awards for essays and for criticism. He is the author of numerous best-selling books, including "Paris to the Moon." In 'The Real Work', Gopnik apprentices himself to an artist, a dancer, a boxer, and even a driving instructor, among others, trying his late-middle-age hand at things he assumed were beyond him. He finds that mastering a skill is a process of methodically breaking down and building up, piece by piece - and that true mastery, in any field, requires mastering other peoples minds."
