What gets called hard work is often just play that requires lots of focus.So, this was okay but I would recommend the other two books firstSo my rating of 3 stars is more a reflection of my intrinsic interest in the topic than the quality of the bookI'm still traumatized by an especially horrific Moby Dick experienceThe author, Geoff Colvin, writes for Fortune and if you saw his piece called "What It Takes to Be Great" you know why it was such a sensationBest performers intense, deliberate practice is based on clear objectives, thorough analysis, sharp feedback, and layered, systemati Telling examination of the power of practicingAuthor Geoff Colvin rejects the popular notion that the genius of a Tiger Woods, a Mozart or a Warren Buffett is inborn uniquely to only a few individualsI was lucky enough that Barnes and Noble take returnsBoth Mozart and Woods had all of these

The difference here is boiled down to "deliberate practice"May 03, 2012 Steve rated it liked it Shelves: fun-nonfiction A continuation of the discussion I first read about in Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers: The Story Of Success - are high-achieving performers naturally talented or is it the result of hard work?

The book uses ample real-world anecdotes and some scientific analysis to bolster this theoriesBut his constant assertion, which runs very much contrary to popular belief, is that there is no real evidence for innate or genetic abilities playing any role in the success of world-class performersDetails 114 New & Used from $1.99 Want it Today?Check Store Availability Add to Wishlist Read moreBuy BookIts practice not passion, testing not talent, that makes someone great.I first heard of TALENT IS OVERRATED in SO GOOD THEY CANT IGNORE Y When looking at the greats in a field, particularly artistic and athletic fields, people tend to focus on the prodigiesThere was far too much about the business world for my taste - and one could argue that this sort of "talent" is of another nature entirely and so not relevant when compared with being a musician or athlete - plus the book was clearly written before the big financial collapse, making some of his comments about businesses "having so much money they don't know what to do with it" seem unfortunately outdatedSo, I guess I would recommend those two books rather than this one, except that there were some things about this that made the whole thing worthwhile.Im more convinced than ever that talent is overratedHe argues that exceptional performance is achieved by deliberate practice - practice which forces one outside of their comfort zone 22c7c4b003
