Publisher's Summary

In The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that 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, demonstrating how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks. 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.

    "A guide to another way of learning"

    Every so often you read/listen to a book and take away a few ideas that you can apply. This book made me marvel at the topic - what do all the great performers have in common - it seems that practice, fantastic coaches and being the skill you are learning are all key. Not a surprise really, but the book has twists and turns throughtout, provides a research based approach and lots of practical wisdom. I would also challenge any teacher that wants to be a fantastic resource to their students to get a copy as well.

    Enjoy!
