About this listen
“Excellent.” (The Wall Street Journal)
Since its publication 10 years ago, businesspeople, investors, doctors, parents, students, athletes, and musicians at every level have adopted the maxims of Talent Is Overrated to get better at what they’re passionate about. Now this classic has been updated and revised with new research and takeaways to help anyone achieve even greater performance.
Why are certain people so incredibly great at what they do? Most of us think we know the answer - but we’re almost always wrong. That’s important, because if we’re wrong on this crucial question, then we have zero chance of getting significantly better at anything we care about.
Happily, the real source of great performance is no longer a mystery. Bringing together extensive scientific research, best-selling author Geoff Colvin shows where we go wrong and what actually makes world-class performers so remarkable. It isn’t specific, innate talent, nor is it plain old hard work. It’s a very specific type of work that anyone can do - but most people don’t.
What’s more, the principles of great performance apply to virtually any activity that matters to you. Readers and listeners worldwide have been inspired by this book’s liberating message: You don’t need a one-in-a-million natural gift. Better performance, and maybe even world-class performance, is closer than you think.

Eye opening message
Must read atleast once. The book focuses on very important beliefs in individuals and in society generally that great achievers born with talent but its not true completely. Rather great performance is result of many hours of deribarate practice. Everyone can do it if choose to.

Good Book For Alternative View on Talent
it's a good book with lots of factual examples and scenarios to convince the talent creation process. I also felt that the book at times has gone rhetoric in an attempt to convince and could have been bit shorter with the same message. Also the examples of the book are largely sided with western cultures paying no or very little attention to other parts of the world.

The author doesn't seem to have even a miniscule insight into human psyche.
Entire commentary is superficial. Lack of purpose in book can be clearly felt. Human existential motivation is missing as a cause of high performance
