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

3.0

I don't know if it's "spoilers" for a non-fiction "self-help" book, but it boils down to -- instilling drive and actively practicing beyond your current limits. And praising effort is often better than intelligence as a sustained and effective motivator. It was written in 2009 though, so this might have been news then. A lot of anecdotes and very little substantial data. Nice as a motivator perhaps, but not a "magic secret". Also, has a weird fixation on myelin.
