From the Huberman Lab podcast.
On getting feedback for a new book concept, Adam suggested the following process:
- Writes draft of first chapter
- Sends to 5-6 people whom he trusts
- Asks for 0-10 score (no-one scores 10)
- If average rank is in the 7-8 range, the material is promising, refine
- If average rank is the 2-3 range, rethink idea or dramatically rewrite
Other notes
- On Feedback: there are two groups of people, cheerleaders and critics
- What you want: a mentor and ask “can you give me advice?” OR to an audience and ask “what’s the one thing I can do better next time?”
