Are genes destiny? Not nearly as much as we think.

THE TALENT CODE
Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How.

Journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle visited nine of the world's greatest talent hotbeds -- tiny places that produce huge amounts of talent, from a small music camp in upstate New York to the baseball fields of the Caribbean. He found that there's a pattern common to all of them--certain methods of training, motivation, and coaching. This pattern -- which has to do with the way the brain acquires skill -- is the reason for their success, and (you guessed it) can be followed by pretty much anybody.

Charlie Euchner

Charlie Euchner The Talent Code is one of those books that will change the way you think. Reading it is like getting a pair of glasses that helps you see clearly what you thought you already knew. More important, it offers a framework that anyone can use, right now, to get better at what they do. If I were a rich man, I’d buy 100 or 1...,000 or more to give to people struggling to find their talents. What I can do is say: Invest $15 or so in this wonderful book.

Chris Frank I feel so lucky to have found this book when I did. I'm a math tutor, and with what I learned in this book, I started a company built around the principles of growing skill. Great book!

Llyane Stanfield I knew the principles and I did the practice, but not as long as I should have or with enough conviction. Thank you so much for this book, it is indeed the HOPE I needed to have in the quest I have started in my life.

Lucy Beam Hoffman I am stunned after reading this book. I will memorize it as a teacher. Anyone who does teach, coach, or raise children, work with employees - EVERYONE should (and I don't use the word lightly) read this book. What amazing research. Well done, Coyle.

Lesha Squires Dalton An amazing combination of research, common sense, and what so many have always known in their hearts but couldn't find words to express or data to prove! Every educator, leader, and trainer should read this, share it, and live it! Can you tell I loved it?

Weezie Underwood Ainsworth I have taught children to read for years by using repetition, and now I understand why it works. Thanks for making it all so clear.
