One of my favorite parts talks about how the word "apprentice" comes from the same root as "apprehend", etymologically "to grasp with the hand".
Evolution has endowed us with mirror neurons -- a function of the brain that mimics what others must think/feel as you watch them perform some task. For a long time in human history, apprenticeships largely consisted of watching and imitating the master, with very little to no verbal instruction.

Greene tours the apprenticeships and anecdotes of timeless masters throughout history and modern times. He can help you discover your natural inclinations, and navigate the power dynamics that govern your path to mastery.
