Product Information

An insightful, joyful tour of the transformative powers of starting something new, no matter your age -- from the bestselling author of Traffic and You May Also Like "Vanderbilt elegantly and persuasively tackles one of the most pernicious of the lies we tells ourselves--that the pleasures of learning are reserved for the young." --Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author of Outliers Why do so many of us stop learning new skills as adults? Are we afraid to be bad at something? Have we forgotten the sheer pleasure of beginning from the ground up? Inspired by his young daughter's insatiable curiosity, Tom Vanderbilt embarks on a yearlong quest of learning--purely for the sake of learning. Rapturously singing Spice Girls songs in an amateur choir, losing games of chess to eight-year-olds, and dodging scorpions at a surf camp in Costa Rica, Vanderbilt tackles five main skills but learns so much more. Along the way, he interviews dozens of experts about the fascinating psychology and science behind the benefits of becoming an adult beginner and shows how anyone can get better at beginning again--and, more important, why they should take those first awkward steps. Funny, uplifting, and delightfully informative, Beginners is about how small acts of reinvention, at any age, can make life seem magical.

Reviews

"Tom Vanderbilt elegantly and persuasively tackles one of the most pernicious of the lies we tells ourselves--that the pleasure of learning are reserved for the young. Beginners belongs with David Epstein's Range on the list of books that have changed the way I understand my own limitations." -- Malcolm Gladwell, best-selling author of Outliers " Beginners is ultimately about more than learning. It's about the about the possibilities that reside in all of us." -- Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human "Tom Vanderbilt's book explores how to learn completely new skills, how to change our world - even after we're supposed to be done with schooling. This is a book about how to become a beginner again, and it makes you want to plunge in with both feet." The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better "Tom Vanderbilt shows us why it's never too late to be a beginner, and that there should be no shame associated with the word 'dilettante.' Now I'm off to learn how to play the trombone, speak Portuguese and bake soufflés" -- A.J. Jacobs, bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically "A wonderful and inspirational book. The only thing that will make you put it down is a burning desire to try something new. It's full of the sort of encouragement and wisdom that bridges the small, tricky gulf between enthusiasm and action. A book that will launch thousands of journeys that might not otherwise have happened and prove life-changing for many who take those first steps." --Tristan Gooley, author of The Natural Navigator "It's impossible to pick up a book by Tom Vanderbilt without learning something. An engaging and fascinating mix of the personal and the general. I never thought I'd read a book that could persuade me to take up juggling, but this one did it." --Robert Colvile "Vanderbilt.. composes lucid prose and explains concepts... with relative ease, and his thesis is practical and worthwhile... compelling... A solid beginner's guide to beginning." -- Kirkus, "What a lovely, inspiring book. Tom Vanderbilt shows us why it's never too late to be a beginner, and that there should be no shame associated with the word 'dilettante.' Now I'm off to learn how to play the trombone, speak Portuguese and bake soufflés" -- A.J. Jacobs, bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically "Many people talk about lifelong learning. Tom Vanderbilt has done something about it -- and he's got the broken bones and bruised ego to show for his heroic efforts. Whether he's atop a surfboard or hunched over a jeweler's bench, Vanderbilt is a winning and insightful guide to the mechanics of mastery. But Beginners is ultimately about more than learning. It's about the about the possibilities that reside in all of us." -- Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human "As I've gotten older, I've discovered that I still want to be an expert at something - anything - even though life, alas, offers so few middle-aged opportunities to learn something new. Which is why it was so wonderful to find Tom Vanderbilt's book. He explores how to learn completely new skills, how to change our world - even after we're supposed to be done with schooling. This is a book about how to become a beginner again, and it makes you want to plunge in with both feet." -- Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of The Power of Habit and Smarter Faster Better "Tom Vanderbilt elegantly and persuasively tackles one of the most pernicious of the lies we tells ourselves--that the pleasure of learning are reserved for the young.
