Book Review of George Leonard's Mastery

In his book Mastery, George Leonard applies his years of training in Aikido to the process of any role in life.  One of the main points of this book is that when people engage in a process, they will spend much of their time on a plateau.  In the modern world, success is often rated on moments of achievement or gain.  However, the master is one who enjoys the process and does not attach to outcomes. 

George Leonard gives many examples of ways to apply the concept of mastery to your life, including loving the basics in Aikido.  As they say, practice makes perfect!  This is a quick read and well worth it.
