Riassunto:

Josh Kaufman, bestselling author of The Personal MBA, is back with his new book, The First Twenty Hours, to teach readers how to learn anything... fast!

What would you like to learn? How to paint a great portrait, launch a business, play piano... or even fly an airplane?

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.

The First 20 Hours helps you pick up any skill in record time ... and have much more fun along the way.
