From Wikipedia:
Sprezzatura is an Italian word that first appears in Baldassare Castiglione’s 1528 The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as “a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it”
The Oxford English Dictionary defines sprezzatura as “studied carelessness.”
Think of celebrities spending hours in makeup and wardrobe before casually dominating the red carpet 💃 Or a comedian practicing a joke for months until they have the wording and rhythm just right 😂 Or the fighter who has practiced one kick ten thousand times 🥋
Words from a short 4-minute video on YouTube…
The implementation of sprezzatura grants the individual manipulative power over those observing. It produces a style that makes the observer think that the individual is so skilled, confident and carefree that they don’t even have to try.
Keep this concept in mind whenever you see someone earning lots of money online. If they make it look or sound easy, assume that’s sprezzatura, that they had to work damn hard for it to appear effortless.
