"Accelerating Wisdom" Episode 1: How to Accelerate Expertise with Cedric Chin

Our first episode explores the practical acquisition of expertise. I haven’t encountered anyone better than Cedric Chin on this topic. Both wisdom and expertise mean knowing what’s most important at any single moment in time, even in hyper complex and dynamic environments. In the real world, this looks like "expert intuition." Cedric’s work, especially around Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT), has been instrumental in showing how you acquire expert intuition, therefore it also provides deep insights into how to become wise. I would define Cedric’s entire genre as asking: “sounds clever on paper, does it work in practice?” CFT has worked repeatedly in his own life, and he’s successfully tested it on more than a hundred of his readers. Cedric has generously produced a new presentation specifically on this topic for the launch of The Leading Edge.
