#4 | 📕 'Mastery' by Robert Greene: insights on our Life's Task & the journey from apprentice to Master

I read (and loved) 'Mastery' by Robert Greene.

Here, I share what I loved, what I learned, and what stood out most.

Shall we call it the inaugural edition of the Comma Book Club?

Come explore what it takes to achieve mastery.

Key topics include the journey of moving from apprentice to Master, the importance of finding our Life's Work, maintaining a balance between creativity and discipline, and handling complexity and anxiety.
