Textbook Description
What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? In this groundbreaking work, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle provides parents, teachers, coaches, businesspeople—and everyone else—with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others.
Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism.
Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything.
The Talent Code Review
This book details, better than any other I have read, the scientific research behind exceptional human achievement. In addition, it distills the common methods of practice, coaching and motivation used in nine “talent beds” around the world. The book is very enjoy able to read and is full of immediately useful advice, all of which is backed up by solid scientific research. If you liked Talent is Overrated, Outliers or Mindset, you will love this book. It is a well-written and important addition the genre of books that are based on the current research on exceptional human achievement.
Well-written, engaging, lots of “wow, I never thought of that” moments followed quickly by “but I should have… makes a ton of sense.” Only problem is the book makes me realize much of what I’ve done to develop certain skills was wrong; but at least now I know.
An excellent book with substantial insight into what “makes talent”. Very well written and researched. Highly recommended.
How do people get good at something? Wait a minute, that’s the not the right question, how do people get great at something? Well, frankly, there has been a significant amount of research on the matter of human performance and the development of skill/talent. Author, Daniel Coyle, has looked at the research and he also went on a road trip to what he calls “talent hotbeds”, places where great talent has been produced out of proportion to their size and perceived stature; for example, a Russian tennis club, a music school in Dallas, a soccer field in Brazil, and others.
I’m sure we’ve all met a lot of people in our lives who are very good at what they do, but perhaps think they’re a little better at it than actual reality. They never seek mentoring because they don’t think they need it; unfortunately, most of them do need mentoring. This explains why true greatness is so rare. Not only do “the great ones” have to be exceptionally proficient at what they do, there must be relevence in their abilities; to attain “relevent greatness” in a world filled with self-absorbed people who are only “great” at getting in the way; that’s the tricky part!
