How to be a master of EVERYTHING
This book is what you need if you desire to master any skill. I'm a musician - a pianist - with a degree in music. I was "stuck" technically and wanted to go to the next level. George Leonard showed me how to get there. I have shared his principles with many people who also have desired to go to a higher level in other skills.
Mastery-The Keys To Success and Long-Term Fulfillment
I am a Certified Business and Life Coach and I highly recommend the book, "
Mastery
: The
Keys
to
Success
and
Long
-
Term
Fulfillment
". This book is one that I often suggest to clients who are looking to master different things in their lives and I have only received positive feedback from them.
In this book, Leonard gives us terrific examples and metaphor to explain 'mastery'. He gives us the tools and guidelines we need to achieve it. Drawing from his wisdom, Leonard is a 'master' himself at educating us on the five essential keys to mastery.
The subject matter of the book can be taken from the title and nothing more need be said.

Simple and Profound book on Mastering Your Life
This is one of the most simple but profound books on how to Master Your Life. It gives you a simple blueprint for
Mastery
. I highly recommend it. Very practical and useful.
Time for Mastery
"We fail to realize that
mastery
is not about perfection. It's about a process, a journey. The master is the one who stays on the path day after day, year after year. The master is the one who is willing to try, and fail, and try again, for as
long
as he or she lives." ~ George Leonard from "Mastery"
Mastery.
If we have any desire to live at our highest potential, we MUST master the concept of Mastery. And George Leonard, a life-long learner, educator, teacher, author, and Aikido master is our ideal teacher.
This booked is packed with simple, profound truths aimed at helping us re-orient ourselves from ineffective Dabbler, Obsessive and Hacker approaches to life to one of Mastery. Life's too short for anything other than our best, wouldn't you agree?
My vote: let's dedicate our lives to a path of Mastery. Starting now. (And this book is a great place to start. :)

Simple, direct, profoundly original--and practical.
I read a lot of nonfiction, spiritual growth, and self-help books. Over the past twenty years I've participated in the "human potential" community and consciousness movement, through workshops, retreats, and support groups. Why have I never heard of this book before I stumbled across it here on Amazon??? This may not be the "best," most profound or life-changing book I ever read (a generalization I generally try not to make), but in
term
s of that rare combination easy-to-read AND profoundly thought-provoking, this book ranks close to the top. Leonard writes in a refreshingly plain and direct style, without relying on a lot of outside sources and quotes. I found "
Mastery
" just as provocative as, say, James Hillman's "The Soul's Code," and a lot less complex and redundant.
See other reviews for details. But for me, the most helpful/provocative thesis in this little book (only 150 pp.) is Leonard's emphasis that real growth (mastery, self-
fulfillment
, englightenment, satisfaction--whatever you want to call it) comes in small spurts/peaks with A LOT of practice, even seeming stagnation, in-between. Recognizing this can avoid a lot of frustration. It also emphasizes that you have to love the practice (what Leonard calls the "plateau") as much as the goal, seeing "practice" as a way of life, not a means to an end. This is one of the best descriptions of "loving what you do/doing what you love" (as Rumi put it) that I have encountered.
