About this listen
In The Talent Code, award-winning journalist Daniel Coyle draws on cutting-edge research to reveal that, far from being some abstract mystical power fixed at birth, 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 to demonstrate how the wiring of our brains can be transformed by the way we approach particular tasks.
He explains what is really going on when apparently unremarkable people suddenly make a major leap forward. 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 must for anyone wanting the learn or teach skills.
Wish that the teacher I had growing up had read this book. Really motivating me to continue to learn and help others learn. I have suggest this book to multiple people if anything I think it should inspire everyone to get in and give anything your interested in a good go, and fail a lot! Recognised mistakes really are what make use better.

A Definite Read
I am very interested in being a better me just because the more skilled I am the more fun I have, the more grateful and optimistic I become. This was an excellent well researched HOW. Cheers to Daniel Coyle

Pretty Good !
Talks about the neural networks of the brain and breaks down what learning is.
Doesn't include modern ' how to's ' but sort of does indirectly.
Loved all the case studies on how and why people learned faster.
