The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill in Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Everything Else by John Farrell, Daniel Coyle

slow-paced

2.75

The message of the book is a good one - there are no 'overnight successes' and talent is a product of a lot of hard work. However, then there were a lot of anecdotes, some interesting, some that I didn't really see how it advanced the story. For example, there was a lot about the KIPS educational program and it made it sound weird and cultish and didn't really explain the link. There also wasn't a lot of actionable advice or takeaway other than 'practice'. Overall it didn't feel book-worthy, seems like it could've been an article instead and would've taken away the same information.
