Comment for pp. 1-53 from
The Talent Code
The research on Myelin really "upsets the apple cart" when I think about my former definition of talent. Talent seemed to be a mysterious quality that suddenly appeared in a person. When I, or somebody else, was able to perform any sort of skill with ease, this was a "gift." For me, though, this was always rather de-motivating-- "If I don't have it, why work for it?" becomes the logical question. How does Coyle's research answer this question?
Next week's discussion forum will continue our discussion of "deep practice" through p.94 in
