TOM VANDERBILT has written for many publications, including The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal Magazine, Popular Science, Financial Times, Smithsonian, and London Review of Books, among many others. ![]() He tackles five main skills (and picks up a few more along the way), choosing them for their difficulty to master and their distinct lack of career marketability-chess, singing, surfing, drawing, and juggling.
