Mastery

Mastery

Robert Greene
2012
T2 Open Librarygoodreads

Robert Greene's synthesis of mastery across domains applies directly to the musician's developmental arc: apprenticeship under someone further along, the creative-active phase of experimentation, and the intuitive mastery that eventually emerges. The profiles of Mozart and Coltrane anchor the abstract framework in musical specifics.

About Robert Greene

American author of books on power, strategy, mastery and human behaviour, built from historical case studies.

The 48 Laws of Power catalogues the tactics used in courts, armies and businesses, stated as rules with historical cases on both the observance and the violation of each. Mastery examines how practitioners across fields moved from apprenticeship to independent judgement over decades of deliberate work.
