The talent code

Greatness Isn't Born. It's Grown. Here's How.
Book • 2009
In 'The Talent Code,' Daniel Coyle delves into the science behind talent development, highlighting three key elements: Deep Practice, Ignition, and Master Coaching.

Coyle draws on cutting-edge neurology and research from various talent hotbeds around the world to explain how myelin, a neural insulator, is crucial for skill development.

The book provides tools for parents, teachers, coaches, and individuals to maximize their potential and that of others, emphasizing that talent is not born but grown through targeted practice and the right motivation.
