Sprinkled with relevant quotes, data, facts, and stories. For a newbie like me, who is not so familiar with business and its concepts, this is a great starting point.Īll of the chapters are like short blog posts, not taking any more space than 1 or 2 pages each, with utmost 500 to 600 words within each chapter. In his own words, this is a high-level overview of a vast body of business literature. The big question is, what is the book basically about other than the obvious title? His talk got me curious, and he also has written a book about the same topic, I was not interested in that one at that moment, so I went ahead looking if he has any other material to be explored. So how did I end up finding The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman? Very useful, good thought, but was not what I was looking for. Say that you only learn and practice drawing faces. You simply choose a specialty subject and only learn about it for the initial 20 hours or more. The technique is fairly easy, you can check out his TED talk here if you want to hear it with your own ears, however here’s a short version of it, “If you want to learn how to draw within 20 hours and develop enough skills to really draw something beautiful, you don’t really follow the general method by which most artists go. A complete overhaul, not a technique which he spoke about in his talk. I will be honest here, I did not watch the whole of his talk or paid much attention to how you can learn something new in a short period of time, reason being, first, I was looking for practical, scientific ways, to organically grow or improve our cognitive functions so that we can either read faster, remember more and maybe apply it practically in a very useful manner. I first came across Josh Kaufman via his TED talk about the first 20 hours of learning and how you can quickly learn a new subject or craft within a short period of time and utilize it commendably. Seth Godin, no need to introduce him I guess, he is a well-known name with a lot of credibilities attached to his words, he says,Ī number one bestseller, coming from a very experienced man.
It says “A world-class business education in a single volume.” The personal MBA by Josh Kaufman proclaims one thing very clearly on its book cover itself.
