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

So if I've got this right, there's this stuff called myelin in your brain, and it insulates the circuits involved in the skills you develop (everything from motor skills to music or language), increasing speed and efficiency in response to the continued firing of these circuits.
This was both a fascinating and inspiring read. Fascinating, to look back on the "gifted program" I was put into in elementary school and the classical music training of my teenage years and see myelin played a role and was harnessed --or not-- in different ways. Inspiring, because with all the Gibson stories my girlhood friends and I wrote, there is apparently no reason why we can't pick up where we left off and become the next Bronte sisters. ;)
This would be an excellent read for teachers, parents, or just any ol person working on developing a skillset
