The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How. Audiobook

" I loved the book and enjoyed every little detail of it. I recommend it to everyone. "

" A very important message! I don't like Coyle's writing style but enjoyed the book. Very well structured. "

" There was nothing new to me in this book--and I've been retired from education for 4 years! "

" This is a very good book and one that I would read as a follow up to Outliers. There are quite a few books on the science of talent and many of them quote the same things. This is a good book - a tad longer than some of the other ones I've read. If you want to nurture students and children and have a little time to read it, it is a good read. "

" Fantastic Book!! Totally transformed my perspective about learning, sports, the brain, failure/struggle, and more! "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was very illuminating. "

" Useful book. Skill is something you can improve, not just something you're born with. "

" A nuts-and-bolts look at how talent can come together in an individual. I read Coyle's book about Lance Armstrong several years. This is a departure for him but very well done. "

" We are always asking what we can do better. As a teacher then a coach I was constantly honing how I dealt with every teacher every minute of every interaction. This book is going to play an impact the second I am back at work and dealing with anyone! "

" interesting. I've watched this phenomenon unfold with my young daughter as she learns. Now... how NOT to lose this!? "

" A bit like Outliers, and didn't tell my much I didn't know (well, I didn't know about myelin, but I knew the idea of it), but I enjoyed it. I want to use it to talk about how and why we create the culture we do at our school with new staff. "

" The phrase "Practice makes perfect" has been scientifically proven to be true. Make that "Deep practice".... "

" Fantastic, I love the explanation of how we create circuits to solve problems, and the disassociation of genius from greatness. "

" it was a thoughtful read especially as a parent trying to get children to practice anything, piano or hockey shots or doing homework I learned a great deal, now if I could figure out how to tranpose that into talented children I could sit back and let them look after me! "

" A book I read while on vacation from work. Some great learnings to be had from this book. For this type of book a real page turner. "

" Terrific book on how excellence is achieved. "

" Beats "Bounce" by A MILE. I really enjoy the recent studies into how talent is built, maintained and developed. This book makes me want to read more - and surely develop my coaching skills. Superb read. "

" There is so much more to learn about how we as humans learn. This book not only answers questions but gives great examples of how different teachers use "deliberate practice." "

" Best book I have read on developing your talents "

" Gives me a lot to think about practicing and perfecting a sport - my riding instructor encouraged me to read it and much of what was discussed are aspects that we discuss in terms of riding. "

" Want to develop a talent? This book describes the science of how it's done -- building a substance in the brain called myelin through persistent practice. "

" This book changed my life. At one time I thought intelligence and talent was a fixed attribute! This is the scientific proof that it is not. Well written and captivating examples show what it is that makes someone a success. "

" Completely loved it. This is the newest book I'll be recommending to everyone. Reminded me of Malcolm Gladwell's writing. Changed my perspective on developing talents & skills in general. Will definitely impact how we raise our kids. "

" Fantastic, I love the explanation of how we create circuits to solve problems, and the disassociation of genius from greatness. "

" The quote by Tom Peters on the dust jacket says in all, "I'm willing to guarantee that you will not read a more important and useful book in this or any other year." "

" I really enjoyed this book, a must for anyone struggling to learn ANYTHING. "

" Talent is not God-given. It is the result of coaching and deep practice. "

" Thoroughly enjoyed this book -- as a coach, it helps me tap the inner athlete in everyone. Then they write their own successes! "

" Should, and has effected my coaching. "

" Really awesome book! A malcolm gladwell kinda awesome book! "

" In terms of motivational books, this one is not too glib or trivial to re-read once in a while. Talents are not made (at least not often) but sparkled by a igniting fire and thousands of hours of training. "

" The book was very interesting. I loved it. It was a little repetitive, but overall a great book! "
