The Power of Deliberate Practice

Nobody starts life with a cello brain or a math brain, not even van go. Anders Eriksson's book Peek debunks the myth of a born prodigy and makes a compelling argument that virtually anyone can accomplish extraordinary things because of their brain. We all have a gift, an amazing gift, a gift that makes anything possible. That gift is our brain. A brain is elastic. It can change. It can grow. You don't feel particularly gifted or you wish you had a different gift than the one you think you got. Maybe though you don't think you are too uncoordinated for a particular sport or too old to start learning to play classical guitar.
