Review: Talent is Overrated, by Geoff Colvin

Reviewed by Bob Kauflin (Worship Matters):

“Colvin begins the book by examining the lives of several famous “greats,” including Tiger Woods, Mozart, Jack Welch, and Jerry Rice. He says that most people think their greatness arose either from a) hard work; or b) talent. Colvin says neither, and uses scientific and anecdotal evidence to support his claim. Instead, he points us to “deliberate practice.” Not simply working hard, but working the right way.”

Kauflin’s response is mixed. Read the whole thing.
