Talent Is Overrated

Geoffrey Colvin

Geoffrey Colvin’s bestseller “Talent Is Overrated” tackles the big question: Where does great performance come from? Most would say top performers must have some innate gift or talent that makes them great, but Colvin dismisses this popular notion. Relying on scientific findings, he shows how geniuses, like Mozart or Tiger Woods, achieved world-class greatness through a process of lifelong deliberate practice.
