Synopsis Combining cutting-edge neurological insights with the results of his own investigative reporting, Daniel Coyle reveals a universal formula for success that can be applied to anyone, regardless of their field of interest. Coyle traveled the world collecting data from "talent hotbeds," such as Caribbean baseball leagues and an exclusive classical music academy in New York, in order to identify any common traits which linked those who excel in their fields. Then he analyzed the latest neurological research on myelin, a neural hormone proven to increase speed, accuracy, and competence. The results of this remarkable research are Coyle's three key elements of success--ignition, practice, and coaching--which he discusses in detail, providing compelling insights on how we can all maximize performance and achievement.
This book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism. Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world's talent hotbeds, author Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything.--From publisher description.
