The Talent Code: What You Don’t Know Will Hurt You!

I have been reading a most fascinating book lately in an effort to help bolster our mentoring program and I would like to share the title with you. It is called The Talent Code written by Daniel Coyle. I would recommend it as mandatory reading if you have kids! The main premise of the book is to give support to the notion that talented or gifted people are not born that way, rather, there are trained to be gifted. And anyone who is willing to dedicate themselves to ten-thousand hours of ‘deliberate practice’ can become an expert in their chosen field! Essentially ten-thousand hours translates to roughly ten years of practice! This is a great book to listen to as you are traveling to and from work in your car. Just download it to your phone or mp3 device and enjoy! Please let me know if anyone has ever read this and what you think about it!
