About
What would you like to learn? How to paint a great portrait, launch a business, play piano . . . or even fly an aeroplane? The only thing holding you back is the time and effort it will take. But there is a way to go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing well, with just 20 hours of practice. Josh Kaufman, author of the international bestseller The Personal MBA, has developed a brilliantly simple approach to help you learn anything. He shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, make the most of your time, and clear away obstacles in your path. The First 20 Hours helps you pck up any skill in record time . . . and have much more fun along the way. 'A blockbuster in the making. After reading this book, you'll be ready to take on any number of skills and make progress on that big project you've been putting off for years.' Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup
