The Talent Code: Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How. by Daniel Coyle
5.0
This book is sooooo chock-full of amazing tips, tricks, hacks, & quotes on how to nurture, grow, and sustain the various elements of “talent” (ie: motivation/inspiration, skill acquisition via regular practice, great coaching) that there was simply no way I would’ve been able to read this book without a pencil in hand. In fact, I ended up taking 5 full pages of notes (especially noting which psychology research studies he referenced that I want to look further into). Can't recommend enough.
