The Talent Code: Greatness isn't born. It's grown

Excellent book. The core content of the book is a very restricted subject though, and so the author does a fabulous job of providing anecdotes, scientific research, and plenty of analysis. This ensures that the book is almost the perfect size for its content matter. It's an enjoyable read, and if you pay enough attention, you might gain a few useful insights on how to make your own life better! Highly recommended.

The author has magnificently selected wonderful stories and events to stress on the importance of "smart work". He has thrown some light to wake up those who believe in the notion of god gift primarily and lack the intensity to put their own efforts. An eye opener for a lot of people, with some really exciting and motivating stories.

The Talent Code is What makes talent? Is born or made? The theory behind this book is that talent is made. The way this is done is by "deep practice". Deep practice isn't just about practicing something over and over again--it is about practicing in a certain system of doing, messing up, and doing over again until you get it right. What I love about this theory is that to be talented you must fail and learn from the failure. It explains why we see bursts of talented people, Russian tennis players, Brazilian football players, Italian artists, and others. It is based on a simple but powerful idea once you truly understand it.

A must read for those who think talent is innate and born within. Loaded with real life characters as example that I loved it. After finishing the book I could feel the myelination in me.

Read it in a single sitting. Couldn't put it down. I'm glad i purchased it and I'd recommend it to everyone.

Topics can be covered in half the size of the book. I personally find it disconnected between the topics.

This book follows in line with similar book of this genre, I really like author’s other book “little book of talent” although this is also good but the other one is more compressed with similar information.
