What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? In this
groundbreaking work, journalist and New York Times bestselling
author Daniel Coyle provides parents, teachers, coaches,
businesspeople--and everyone else--with tools they can use to
maximize potential in themselves and others.
Whether you're coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the
piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this
revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a
newly discovered brain mechanism.
Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered
on journeys to nine of the world's talent hotbeds--from the
baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in
upstate New York--Coyle identifies the three key elements that will
allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in
sports, art, music, math, or just about anything.
- Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success.
What everyone doesn't know is that specific kinds of practice can
increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice.
- Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what
separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher
level of commitment--call it passion--born out of our deepest
unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues.
Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion
and catalyze skill development.
- Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world's most
effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four
virtues that enable these "talent whisperers" to fuel passion,
inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students.
These three elements work together within your brain to form
myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of
speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have
discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation
of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo's to Michael Jordan's.
The good news about myelin is that it isn't fixed at birth; to the
contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be
cultivated and nourished.
Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular
people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change
the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own
highest potential.
