I&#x27;ve bought the book and would highly recommend it to others wanting a glimpse into what it takes to become an expert performer.<p>There are two main differences between deliberate practice and purposeful practice.<p>Deliberate practice requires a well established field where there is a clear gap between the top performers and those entering the field.<p>The second difference is having a teacher who can design practice activities to help you improve on very specific skills.<p>Taken from the book &quot;Deliberate practice is purposeful practice that knows where it is going and how to get there.&quot;
