Talent is Overrated
What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else

This book will change the way you think about your life and work, inspiring you to achieve more in everything you do. Great performance isn't reserved for a preordained few.

Talent is not innate - it comes from thousands of hours of deliberate practice: focused improving of your shortcomings. That's it. If you can get past the first 20% of the book that just asks questions, the next 60% is quite good. – source
