The Talent Code

[Jonleehacker]

I just ordered a copy of this book. It looks like a great exploration of the systems used to produce extraordinary achievement.

The Talent Code, which explains how talent grows in the brain, and how you can grow more of it. Included are a discussion of tiny, wildly successful talent hotbeds in sports, art, music, and academics; their distinctive patterns of practice, motivation, and coaching; and a bit of neurology (after all, every skill is located in the brain). The clip also includes the author's performance of a Tiger Woods golf trick--a trick with an extremely unplanned ending.

This looks interesting. Tough to find books that don't regurgitate what everyone else has already said. Hope this has new insight and tools. Let us know what you think of it! thx
