The Sports Gene: Inside the Science of Extraordinary Athletic Performance by David Epstein

4.0

This book has been painted as a retort to Gladwell's "10,000 hours" rule, but that's not a fair characterization. Epstein does a very good job of showing that both nature and nurture (or both training and talent) are necessary for elite athletes, but perhaps the genetic side is more important than we recognize. The book is very well written, and certainly interesting.
