You've either got it or you haven't.' Not true, actually. In The Talent Code , award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that, far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth, ability really can be created and nurtured. In the process, he considers talent at work in venues as diverse as a music school in Dallas and a tennis academy near Moscow to demonstrate how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. He explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward. He reveals why some teaching methods are so much more effective than others. Above all, he shows how all of us can achieve our full potential if we set about training our brains in the right way. Review: Really challenged my thinking - This is a great book - it really challenged the way I think. I also think it is an imperfect book. There were a couple of leaps that I just did not get, or maybe agreed with. However in the underlying hypothesis of the biological basis of skill in the process of myelination was both fascinating and very challenging. Accepting the hypothesis creates a new basis of learning and the more important process of 'unlearning' in adults. This book will change the way I approach my work. I also think the the review suggesting that this is a book about positive mindset totally misses the point. Positive mindset, as Coyle says himself, is irrelevant. It is how the mind is 'ignited' or focused and how this is then implemented in the right kind of deep practice, not just hard work. Review: A mixture of ticket science and the obvious - This is a book about how to become really great at skills such as sports or music performance. As a pro musician and music coach, I was obviously highly interested. Coyle breaks down the three principles into the coding/practice part, "ignition"(broadly, inspiration) and coaching. In essence there is no surprise here for anyone who spends their professional life in music practice and teaching. True, it is interesting to read how the neuroscientific mechanism of myelin works (a sort of fatty reinforcement mechanism to nerve circuits needed for skills). But in practical terms, knowing this doesn't to my understanding change much about how skills are acquired. There are some very interesting detailed observations about individual master coaches and what makes them good. Definitely an interesting and thought provoking book. Just-to be fair like most books of its type, like Malcolm Gladwell's-a bit of a padding out exercise. There are three key concepts. Good. Tell me succinctly how they work. Done. Next book. I guess it would be more of a booklet or pamphlet but insofar as this is in the "how to" category -tell me his to and then let me go do it! In any case, worth the money and worth reading, if perhaps selectively. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 18,372 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 15 in Job Hunting (Books) 2,071 in Health, Family & Lifestyle Self Help 2,208 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,297 Reviews | ## Images ![The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born.

I read this book in the context of recovering from chronic pain. the master skill for this is “deep relaxation” which will hopefully lead to desensitise one’s nervous system. Knowing that focusing on chunks of skills and loads of repetition gives a clear vision of what’s required. The only thing I didn’t ‘vibe’ in the book is the emphasis on growing myelin. Somehow I don’t believe it’s as simple a neurological mechanism as that. Highly recommended nevertheless. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born.
