This book is first and foremost a cultural myth-buster. There are so many dangerous collectively held beliefs about human potential and its limits. One of the greatest insults that we can say to someone who is talented is that they came by it naturally. When we label people as naturally talented, or smart it is a back-handed compliment that tries to downplay their efforts while excusing our own laziness. Everyone who is talented or gifted came by it the hard way, through dedicated hard-work. That is the thesis of this book, that according to new neuroscience research the difference between talented and mediocrity is the layers of Myelin wrapped around the neurons in the brain. This increased Myelin allows for increased "bandwidth" or speed of firing neurons. The more a neuron is fired the more insulation it demands hence the increased wrapping of myelin. Repetition is how we repeatedly fire those neurons making them faster and faster. This increased speed is what makes talented people look like everything they do is so fluid and easy. The secret to talent is focused practice with the aim of correcting mistakes one at a time. Breaking down a difficult task into its component parts and slowly learning each one until it all comes together.
To get started we all need an ignition or trigger that gives us enough forward momentum to start moving in the direction of our desired goal. These triggers can come from anywhere, but once set off it is our job to find ways to keep that fire burning because the destination is a long journey that takes time.
Effort, self-discipline and openness to feedback are the critical elements to perfecting our abilities. Failure is a teacher and friend that shouldn't be feared but seen for what it is a way of spotlighting the areas where we could use improvement.
This book helped shore up my own belief in human potential and that it rests with the individual not on luck but hard-work. Intelligence has a stronger correlation to self-discipline than IQ scores.

There exist a zone of accelerated learning, in which you learn super fast, and retain a lot more. Prodigies like Mozart, Davinci, etc., were only lucky enough to know how to enter that zone deliberately. In other words, they had cracked the talent code. In this review, I will share with you this life-altering secret.
What you will learn in this book:
-What really is talent, and how it is grown?
-How you can drastically speed up acquiring a talent using deep practice
-How you can create the motivation that pushes you forward.
-A new mindset that literally changes you into believing if it is humanly possible, it is within your reach as well.
By far, this is one of the most impactful books I have ever read and it makes an amazing companion to the book: "Mindset".
For me, before this book, I believed that innate talent has always been a major element of success and extraordinary achievement. From that decisive and brilliant leader who makes accurate snap judgments to those kids who solve the Rubik under 10 seconds, I always used to think, gosh, they鈥檙e so lucky to be so talented. But I was wrong, terribly wrong.
This is quite limiting and prevents you from even trying.
Luckily for me, I stumbled on this amazing book which literally debunks lots of dangerous and self-limiting myths about talent and achievement.
What really is talent?
What we refer to as talent, as scientists have discovered, involves a neural insulator called myelin and is now considered to be the holy grail of cultivating skills.
From the simplest skill, such as flipping a coin, or riding a bike, to complex ones such as programming, proving a mathematical formula, playing the piano, etc., each human skill involves chains of nerve fibers and neural circuits that carry tiny electrical impulses.
Simply put, each skill involves traveling of signals through specific circuits of neurons.
Myelin critical role is to wrap around those nerve fibers and circuits. Think of it in the way rubber is wrapped around a copper wire.
The more myelin is wrapped around those fibers, the faster and stronger those tiny signal travel through the circuits. Hence, you become faster and better at the task.
In addition, this myelination and insulation of fibers make you more accurate by preventing the electrical signals from leaking out.
But how are these myelins created?
If more myelination means becoming faster, better and more accurate, you would definitely want to know how it is created, and how we can influence it.
Let鈥檚 see how it is created in the first place.
Imagine you want to try to swing a bat or play a note. If you do it correctly, your brain responds by wrapping myelin around the involving circuits (the circuits that successfully led to your desired outcome).
Each time you repeat the task successfully another thin layer of myelin is added to the involving circuits, making you even faster and better.
Although everyone can grow myelin, however, there are certain rules about practicing, that makes its growth much faster (you can learn about the techniques ). And those prodigies that you see (from Michelangelo to Michael Jordan) are following those specific rules while they practice.
In fact, success or mediocrity depends most on the way you practice, not the brain already at your disposition.
Next, I will cast the light on these rules, and share with you the means of learning super fast.

One of the most often-quoted facts regarding talent, which I first heard in Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers", is that becoming an expert in a given field takes on average about 10,000 hours of deliberate practice. However, that term 'deliberate practice' can seem somewhat vague: what exactly is supposed to happen during those 10,000 hours? Coyle's book is the definitive answer to that question.
In his book, Coyle explores this notion of deliberate practice from all angles. To begin, he starts out with what, in my opinion, is the single most important aspect of this book: a medical explanation for what is happening in your brain when you learn. Building upon this foundation, Coyle then walks through the different parts of deep learning, along the way introducing a varied cast of writers, skateboarders, painters, musicians, teachers and football players that help emphasize the important aspects of the process. Through their stories, Coyle also helps drive home the point that these people were not born great, they worked at it. And in the end, there really is no silver bullet: talent takes a great deal of time and effort. But by spending that time putting in the right kind of effort, you can achieve some pretty amazing things.
As my book list might reflect, I have a very strong interest in the study of talent, geniuses, and what I like to call meta-learning (learning how to learn), and this book is definitely one of the best books I've read on the subject. Honestly, I wish I could give it six stars, but since I can't I'll settle for encouraging you to put this book at the top of your reading list.

Coyle asks, "...why does it take people so long to learn complex tasks?" Um...because they're complex?
Any time someone opens up with how they'll reveal "revolutionary scientific discoveries", the best advice is to run away. I didn't take my own advice and stubbornly slogged through this collection of anecdotes about "hotbeds" (he loves that term) in which he reaches far, contradicts himself, incredibly co-opts the Tom Sawyer fence whitewashing story to his means (really...guy tosses thousands of years of human psychology for a fad theory), ignores concentrations of "signals" that don't fit his model for hotbed generation...
Coyle is a sports writer proposing a theory that he masquerades as science, but it's mostly pop-psychology BS. It's sad that this nonsense is published, sadder that people buy into it.
Why did I read it? A colleague - psychologist - thought I'd really like the "fascinating" book he was listening to on CD. I am continually amazed at the lack of critical thought among PhDs...even less so among the soft sciences...even more less in the liberal arts, if the dissertations I've read recently are any indication. The logical fallacies in this book are rampant, and the anecdotes too obviously cherry-picked in order to support the pseudo-theory for this to be taken seriously.

I'm on the fence about this book. The subject matter is riveting, but it's the writing that throw it all off for me. It's too catchy, to commercial. The author has a penchant for grand claims which I don't think sits well when trying to write a book rooted in science. He is passionate, I'll give him that. I always feel I am being actively sold something, and talked down to as if I were a child, his little riddle about myelin production got on my nerves pretty quickly, as did all the endless case scenarios, each more predictable than the next. The tone was a bit too trivial ("here's a comment about this person", "here's a little joke", "here is my own life experience"!
Maybe I'm too fresh out of college, but I was sorely put off by the lack of citations *grins*. They are at the end.

I checked this out based on a recommendation from my professor, a lifelong educator who鈥檚 deeply immersed in the field of leadership and organizational development. He stated, on no uncertain terms, that this was one of the best reads out there on talent development. Not just talent in one area, ALL talent.
The central premise, which is repeated for effect throughout the book, is that 鈥�skill is insulation that wraps neural circuits and grows according to certain signals.鈥� That insulation is a substance we learned in high-school biology called myelin. Building myelin allows impulse circuits to fire more precisely, more quickly, and more consistently, all of which contribute to skill improvement. Practice and repetition are crucial to this increase in myelination activity. Instead of focusing on genetic and environmental factors, Coyle proposes that we think of skill development as a muscle and an exercise in building myelin. The book focuses on three crucial elements that allow people to develop their skills and become experts in a wide range of fields, from sports to music and art:
Deep Practice - Repetition is important, but Coyle explores what it means to practice effectively - through focusing both on the small details and the big picture, and by actively utilizing failure as an opportunity to improve. One of the best examples in the book is provided early on, dubbed the Girl Who Did a Month鈥檚 Worth of Practice in Six Minutes. Just like a baby taking its first steps and falling, skills are developed much more quickly through doing and failing, attending to mistakes, and trying again. A really good quote in this section from Samuel Beckett: 鈥�Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better.鈥�
Ignition - The fuel necessary for the repetition required for skill development. Coyle scours the world for examples of talent hotbeds and teases out some primal cues that stirs the fires necessary for the commitment necessary towards being world experts. One interesting finding is that effort-based language (eg. you are working hard) is more effective for igniting than intelligence based language (eg. you are really smart) because it speaks to the very core of the learning experience (by building myelin and improving circuits).
Master Coaching - The guidance necessary to cultivate world class talent. Coyle interviews various sports and talent coaches and learns that good coaches generally have a toolset of depth of knowledge, perceptiveness of personalities, directly instructive communication skills, and an innate sense of empathy for their students. Not surprisingly, these qualities of master coaching are also a result of years of practice and myelin building.
Overall, the book was a great, quick read. Coyle litters the book with interesting anecdotes while keeping the pacing lean and the content organized. That鈥檚 tough to do. I learned a few things that could be beneficial to my own personal development, which is always nice. Some of his findings and statements sound a little too definitive, but it does make for a persuasive piece of writing. If you鈥檙e looking for a detailed exploration of the connections between myelination and skill development, this is not the book for you. Otherwise, I highly recommend it.

There is so much to be gained from what this book teaches. This is one of my favorite books so far from 2012.
What makes talent? Is is born or made? The theory behind this book is that talent is made. The way this is done is by "deep practice". Deep practice isn't just about practicing something over and over again--it is about practicing in a certain system of doing, messing up, and doing over again until you get it right. What I love about this theory is that to be talented you must fail and learn from the failure. Failing is key.
In other words the author explains that you have to be good at being bad before having talent. For this to work you have to love to fail, knowing you are actually gaining the entire time. This reminds me of a famous quote by Thomas Edison who, before inventing the lightbulb, failed over 10,000 times. Except Edison's viewpoint wasn't that he failed 10,000 times in the quest for the lightbulb--he instead found 10,000 ways that did not work. This is the premise of the theory of this book. The author points out that those who are truly talented started off as terrible and then became good. What may look like an overnight success is really hours and hours of practice before mastery.
The science behind this (your brain and it's mylein proteins that are formed when you actively "do" something) will please those who are into logical facts and the myraid of famous stories of famous people from history and life will satisfy history buffs and self development seekers. This book is truly recommended for all to get a glimpse into theory on what talent is really about.

The Talent Code is a book about talent and skill, and how they are developed. It explains why we see bursts of talented people, Russian tennis players, Brazilian football players, Italian artists, and others. It is based on a simple but powerful idea once you truly understand it. It's not very different from "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell, but it is more researched, more accurate, and simply more entertaining than Gladwell's book. Plus, Gladwell ends his book by trying (and failing) to explain why Chinese students are good at math. I think the ideas behind The Talent Code gives the right explanation for this phenomenon (although it's not explicitly mentioned).
I loved this book, there's no reason why you won't love it too :)

The Talent Code is a fascinating study of success, the success of groups or clusters of people in widely separated parts of the globe and in many different fields of endeavour. Contrary to common thought talent is not born it is gained through deep focused practice. This is the current revelation discovered by Daniel Coyle and other social scientists. What he discovered are talent hot beds. These are specific towns where the winners, the most successful in a skill, are coming from. The myelin which forms around neurons which have performed an activity repeatedly is the magic substance required to achieve excellence. Usually a knowledgeable coach is part of the equation. The concept incorporates the 10,000 hour theory explained in the Outliers taking Glaswell鈥檚 study to another level. Intriguing examples are given, among them exceptional novelists, artists, golfers, soccer players and tennis champions. Often the circumstances are ideal for the teaching of the sport, the art or other skill. Such a circumstance might be the artist guilds organized in Italy or the soccer camps in Peru which gives the person the advantage of being in the right place at the right time in the right apprenticeship program with the right teacher doing the right exercises, developing myelin. An important part of learning a skill is breaking the skill down to chunks and learning each chunk absolutely correctly and very slowly. In this way the person learns the internal blueprints of the skill, the shape and rhythm of the interlocking skill circuits. A master coach follows a teaching system of explanation, demonstration, imitation, correction and repetition. Another factor in success is ignition, having a role model preferably from your home town. This seems to be especially true in areas of poverty. A star baseball player or other highly paid athlete will spur on many other hopefuls to also advance to a professional level. The coaches in these hotbeds praised effort rather than complimenting the participant's intelligence. Hard work and slow progress were the keys to success. Something I found interesting was that in Finland a teacher is paid as well as a doctor and is considered of equal importance to society. Finnish students rank far above American students in math, science and reading. Also, wisdom comes with age because the circuits are fully insulated.

I like that Coyle actually went out and visited "talent hotbeds" and tried to synthesize ways they practice, motivate and coach rather than just citing other studies and books. I'd never heard of so that was interesting, though his miracle drug description of it is ridiculous.
The thirty second takeaway: practice in chunks, breaking up music to measures, bringing sports to a smaller scale--practice in a way that lets you fail and correct often. Stay motivated by taking a genuine interest in the subject, group motivation is also helpful. Coach dynamically by giving short queues. Limit praise and criticism and focus on practical suggestions. Coach efficiently taking every second of practice time into account and coach everything from how socks are put on to how they leave the field.

Brilliant book about talent and how to nurture, ignite, coach and essentially spot it in individuals. As the father of 2 little boys who I coach in both boxing and football (sock-her) there were about 5/6 really interesting leadership / coaching techniques that I picked up from the book that I have already started to implement into their training and my own. One of the differentiators of this book was the introduction, into my vernacular at least, of this substance called myelin. Myelin sounds like a wizard from lord of the rings but it鈥檚 not. It鈥檚 a white substance that grows over the long part of a neuron. Its acts as an insulator. As you grow old this insulator like substance (think of an electricity wire that slowly has its covering worn away so you can see the metal wiring inside) slowly wears away and you can鈥檛 function as well. The link with talent that Coyle proffers is that you can almost speed up the growth of this insulation by physically doing stuff again and again. He talks about something called deep practise where you break down the composite parts of any action such as a tennis stroke, the perfect right hand punch, a golf swing, a piano piece, and a dance move. etc and when you have perfected these parts you chunk it all together and execute the holistic action. The book talks about the 10,000 hour rule for world class excellence but says that the exceptionals have done that and used deep practise also. The book also talks about key events that really ignited the imagination of a young child and made him her realise what he she really wanted to be. That could have been a Eureka moment or witnessing a baseball player for example hitting a home run against all odds. The book also talks about some of the master coaches the world has seen and tells some really interesting stories about them. This combination of ignition, master coaching and then deep learning all combine to create talent, Coyle proffers. The book also spoke about some of the best coaches in the world, how futsal was introduced to the UK and the Bronte sisters!
Best bits from the book were:
鈥� In one experiment the author tested to see how well kids performed on a musical instrument. The group had all started out at the same time so were starting from the same playing field but the assessor asked them one fundamental question and based on the answer to that the results were incredible. It was discovered that those who had stated and intended to play the instrument for a long time scored higher than those that stated that they were only going to play the instrument for a short period of time. Those that fared better had made the conscious decision that they would become musicians and that was all there was to it. They were going to practise and put all they had into it.
鈥� A clinical psychologist called Michael Eisenstadt also did some research on successful people and found out that some of the most successful had lost a parent very early in their life and the average age was around 14. Here are some individuals who had lost a father, in particular, early in life and the age at which they lost that parent: Caesar 15, Napoleon 15, Washington 11, Jefferson 14, Lenin 15, Hitler 13, Ghandi 15, Stalin 11, Copernicus 10, Emerson 8, Melville 12, and Nietzsche 4. 鈥淟osing a parent is a primal cue: you are not safe. You don't have to be a psychologist to appreciate the massive outpouring of energy that can be created by a lack of safety. This signal can alter the child鈥檚 relationship to the world, redefine his identity and energize and orient his mind to address the dangers and possibilities of life 鈥� such adverse events nurture the development of a personality robust enough to overcome the many obstacles and frustrations standing in the path of achievement鈥�
鈥� 鈥淚n Finland a teacher is regarded as the social equivalent of a doctor or a lawyer and is compensated accordingly 鈥� this is linked to the fact that we really believe we live in an information age, so it is respected to be in such a key information profession as teaching.鈥� As a result Finland has one of the best education standards in the world.

This is a must-read for teachers, particularly those who believe all students can learn. Daniel Coyle speaks to the value of hard work, appropriate mentors, and effective motivation (which he calls ignition) in developing talent. I particularly like Coyle's acknowledgment that experience and expertise matter. In fact, he claims that it takes one ten years and/or 10,000 hours of "deep practice" to become an expert in one's chosen profession or avocation. Take that, Bill Gates. Coyle also pays homage to the best coaches and teachers, whom he says typically have 30-40 years of experience. That's validating in this day of ageism and youth-obsession.
Coyle's description of the disciplined and, arguably, regimented KIPP academies reminds me of my own elementary school experience, which surely resembled a typical Catholic school education. I like that Coyle emphasizes the importance of discipline in the details, which promote excellence and discipline in the really important things in life.
I just can't say enough good things about this book, which validates so much of what I've believed about education the past thirty years.

The thesis of this excellent book is that talent is developed by the right kind of practice. This practice repeatedly fires the correct neurons, which develops the myelin sheaths that surround these neurons; a positive feedback ensues, further strengthening the neuron connections.
Brute repetition is not the type of practice that the author recommends; he discusses a "deep" practice that breaks down a complex skill into component parts, and repeats the parts until they become perfect and ingrained. The right type of coach can enormously speed up the process, and help one to learn from one's mistakes.
The most interesting part of the book are the visits the author makes to so-called "talent hot-beds". These are places that where skills are built with extraordinary results, all out of proportion to their size, or the quality of their environment or facilities. Well worth reading!

Totally forgettable and just like every other book in this genre. Coyle is a better writer than most so that's a bonus. I really liked his culture code book, but this one is just a rehash of books I've already read about deliberative practice, grit (eye roll), growth mindset (eye roll), etc.

I have to admit that this book is very much confusing. It focuses on the element of Myelin After many pages of it being really not sure what it is.
On the other hand, there are some very strong coaching chips and some powerful examples. But still confusing.

There are some good tips in here, but much of it is pseudoscience psychobabble decorating cute anecdotes.
This idea that anybody can be good at anything with enough practice is so obviously wrong that I marvel at its persistence. The part that has some kind of link to reality is Flow: match your skills to your challenges.

*Talent de-coded*
Now, if this book isn't a display of remarkable talent, I don't know what is!
Not only does Daniel Coyle de-code talent, but he uses his own to brilliantly weave the story behind greatness. Clearly, he's honed his writing talent. (And, after reading this book, you'll understand the neurological processes enabling that growth!)
The book tells the story of the three components of the talent-code: deep practice, ignition, and master coaching. The protagonist of the talent story is myelin--our brain's insulation that responds to neural firing and wraps skill circuits. It is these tightly wrapped circuits that are the building blocks of talent. The plot of the talent story thickens (literally, from a myelin-perspective) as master coaches combine the forces of deep practice and ignition to grow talent in others.
I'm pretty much blown away by this book. (Reading the previous reviews I see I'm not alone in this department!) Ever since I have read it, I've seen endless possibilities on how this unlocked code has the power to unlock human potential in all areas from education, to sports, to therapy, to parenting, and everything in between. _The Talent Code_ is certainly one of those books that has the power to help you maximize your potential--and that of those around you.

Somewhat simplistic principles offered with entertaining stories.
July 23, 2020
Filled with familiar tropes (if you've any familiarity with pop-psych literature and all), but I think there's value in going through the case studies and the breakdowns of how skill in any area is really cultivated:
1. Ignition (the spark that lights a fire)
2. Coaching (starts with motivation + transitions to "how to do this")
3. Immense repetition and practice.
This book is obviously useful for anyone doing any sort of coaching or training of other people, particularly in those competitive fields like tennis, golf, violin, piano, chess and others where a rock-solid understanding of the fundamentals is what matters.
In more creative fields, it's less obvious what to do. There is no clear set of fundamentals to be mastered. In a lot of cases (writing an essay, producing a scientific theory, programming), there's not even an obvious sense in which one can be absolutely right. I wish there were more discussion about this -- but I think we just don't understand it well enough.
As an aside, the closing of the book heralds the Oakland Raiders' drafting of JaMarcus Russell. What's funny though is that JaMarcus Russell, as prodigiously gifted as he was, ended up one of the biggest QB flops of all time. Turns out there's more to performance than mastery of the fundamentals -- it means nothing if you lack the discipline to attend practice regularly or the drive to learn all you can.

What a fascinating read! Daniel Coyle spent two years visiting talent "hotbeds," like Brazil with it's soccer factory, Russia's tennis training ground, and the Z-Boys in California. He studied the practicing, the coaches, and the environmental factors that contribute to these bundles of genius or greatness. He connects what he finds to the latest research and conclusions about how skills and talent grow at the brain level. His conclusions about growing talent are widely applicable, and the many anecdotes make the book a pleasure to read. What I found in the book makes me want to go learn a new language or instrument! My approach to helping my children practice new skills--even the way I compliment them for their effort is different now.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who has children, everyone actively learning new skills (certainly everyone in school), and everyone concerned about keeping previously developed skills. Maybe to anyone concerned about taking care of their brain. I wish someone would create a children's book using this information.
