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.

We are Myelin Beings

Loved the reference of Myelin in creating talent and how we can benefit from it...
Also enjoyed listening to the way it was narrated
I would loose focus a few times where there was reference made to music, but that's because 9f my limited knowledge of the subject. I'm sure a lot of people would be able to relate to it
Thank you Daniel Coyle for taking up this topic and writing the book!
