The First 20 Hours

Computer/writer nerd yearns to learn. (Sorry Josh just going by the dust jacket photo).

When I started this book I did not think I would have any desire to learn how to play the ukelele, learn Go, or go windsurfing. After reading Josh's case studies of how he picked up these widely varying skills by deconstructing the steps and then applying them to the various pursuits - I find that I'm fascinated.

Mr. Kaufman shows you the essence of what you need to know to get to the point where you have at least rudimentary skill set for almost any pursuit within 20 hours. Notice I did not say you will be a master but you can attain a quick, strong grasp of those areas of life that you find practical or just plain fun if you follow his techniques.

That being said time for me to go dust off some of the projects I've abandoned and apply what I've learned.
