The Little Book of Talent: 52 Tips for Improving Your Skills Audiobook

" One of the best books I've listened to and enjoyed. I recommend it to everyone "

" Very useful and applicable. I need to buy a copy for myself for future reference. "

" Fast read... with crisp, useful tips! Real good stuff in small pack! "

" A distillation of insights learned by the author, Dan Coyle in his research for his book, The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill in Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Everything Else. I listened to the audio book, so it's a little hard to go back and get specifics, but I think if I had the print edition I'd refer back to it. "

" Aside from the fact that the edition I read was an advance copy, thus there were more than a few grammatical errors, the sheer style of Coyle's writing was just substandard; or at least fell short of my personal standards for self help books. Having not read any of the author's previous works, nor having much preparation for this book, I wasn't overly skeptical at the onset. In actuality, many of his tips were insightful, though it consistantly references studies and people and fails to cite sources. Aditionally, Daniel Coyle too often uses the word "hotbed" yet never fully explains what this word means in various contexts. I won't advise readers to steer clear of this guide, and perhaps you may find it much more envigorating and applicable than I, yet I will surmise that I didn't love it and would be surprised if it were to be on a bestsellers list anytime soon.
