Snag Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers From Everybody Else Articulated By Geoff Colvin Accessible In Publication

is a fun book that starts out in a vein similar to Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers", Later the emphasis of the book changes, and becomes a selfhelp book, For best performance, the name of the game is "practice", and not any old practiceit must be focused, deliberate, planned practice, This practice is not just for musicians it is for every type of career, in business, sales, marketing, engineeringyou name it, practice is what it takes, This type of practice can be mentally taxing, and very timeconsumingit normally takes years before a truly excellent performance is honed,

Colvin brings up the examples of Mozart and Tiger Woods, Neither of them was born with innate talent, They were both born to fathers who were both experts in their respective fields music and golf, and started teaching their boys at a very early age, Lots of hard work and specially designed practice were the keys to their topnotch performance,

This may not be the best book on the topicthe subject is covered in a number of other books, But it is competently written, and for most part, it is engaging,
There have been a number of books lately that attempt to disabuse us of the myth of talent that some people are born gifted, like Mozart or Tiger Woods.
When you look into the details of such cases, you almost always find a passionate parent, a good understanding of the field of expertise, and hours and hours of practice.
Both Mozart and Woods had all of these, Colvin asks us to replace the idea that people are born gifted with the idea that anyone who's willing to put in the time can do wonders, He advocates the principle developed elsewhere of deliberate practice, which means focusing on the stuff you don't do well, and crunching it endlessly until you get better, Doesn't sound like fun, but then greatness rarely is, Even the Beatles put in thousands of hours of practice in German clubs, fueled by amphetamines, beer, and cigarettes, catcalled by the crowd, and occasionally hit with physical estimations of their abilities like beer bottles thrown by angry audience members.
You get good by getting good, Get to work or give up and watch TV, It's your choice. An unpopular point of view, to be sure, for everyone except perhaps Tiger mothers, While I agree with the general premise of the book, that hard work is the key to success and achievement, I didn't really like the book, I found it long winded, repetitive, and often not very convincing, The author never really defines what "talent" is, almost denies its existence in the first chapters, then down plays its importance in the later chapters, This is an age old debate, It is nature AND nurture that make us who we are, And yes, hard work is what really makes the difference, Amazing book, after you read it, any limiting beliefs you have about innate abilities as an excuse not to putting in the required effort will disappear from your mind.
You'll discover the truth of success behind the so called naturally "gifted" individuals such as Mozart or Tiger Woods, This book is really motivating to read, it reveals the correct mindsets on how to achieve mastery in a certain field and become a high performer, I highly recommend this book to you, it will open your mind to new ideas and give you understanding of the worlds highest achievers throughout history, Well, I think I could have written this book and made it a lot shorter,is perhaps low considering that the research was good, .

. and that I agree with the author's findings, It's just that the conclusion was obvious, How do you advance to a world class at some skill Malcolm Gladwell explained that in his book outliers simply spend,hours at a thing, You'll become a master.

Colvin points out that many people spend years, . .,hours plus at a task, however they never achieve worldclass mastery of their skill, What is the difference between these mediocre performers and their worldclass contempararies The difference here is boiled down to "deliberate practice", The kind of practice or training that focuses on individual aspects of a certain skill, Every sports practitioner and musician knows about this kind of practice as do I, Colvin makes a case for using deliberate practice in other fields as well, business and science, It's a strong argument and as a former musician, I found it easy to agree with his idea strongly, . . but he could have stated it in a single chapter, That being said, my review will save you the time of reading this book, How do you get to Carnegie Hall Deliberate Practice! "Expanding on a landmark cover story in Fortune, a top journalist debunks the myths of exceptional performance, " I think anytime I read that a book is an expansion of an article, I should just read the article, I liked this book but I think I could have gotten as much out of the short version, It's similar to Malcolm Gladwell's theory about how people need,hours of practice to become exceptional, which is something I think about a lot, This author, Colvin, talks about "deliberate practice" which is a specific kind of professionally designed, not fun, practice that creates worldclass professionals/artists/performers, It helps to have dedicated parents to get you started on your skill early in life and you have to work ridiculously hard but Colvin's assertion is that most "geniuses" had/have a perfect combination of tutelage and hard work more than an inborn talent that creates worldclass results.
