You must have heard this before: “talent is overrated”. We’ve all been told that to succeed in life and do so in a great way, all we need to do is to find what we are good at and do it. This is great advice but with one major problem; it is intimidating and makes many of us feel miserable in life because we feel there is just that one thing that we were meant for and if we miss it, we will live unhappy lives. What if we don’t find that one thing that we can say we are passionate about and have a natural talent for?

Wild Talents is the fourth and final nonfiction book written by paranormal author Charles Fort, published in 1932. In recounting a wide variety of odd phenomena, Fort largely disregards his previous teleportation theory or at least incorporates it into his new thesis. Rather than a vague "cosmic joker", as he postulated in his earlier books, the responsibility for these occurrences are freak powers that occur in the human mind. These powers cannot be naturally developed, but are there, Fort feels, as a sort of throwback to primeval times.
