Reply To: Discussion – “The Talent Code”

[Tom Molloy]

I got this email from Daniel Coyle, the author of The Talent Code. He has written a new book called 'The Little Book of Talent". The email is about the book.
I got the ebook version and have been reading it. It is very concise and I think it is a great too for coaches, teachers, parents and in general all human beings. So if you are in one of these categories I recommend it.
I pasted Dan's email below.

Hi everybody,

I want to tell you that I've got a new book coming out this week. It's called The Little Book of Talent. Here are the basics:

1) It's a manual for improving skills: 52 simple, proven tips for getting better at sports, music, art, and business. Think of it as the practical-minded companion to The Talent Code. A coach that fits in your pocket.

2) The tips are taken from the talent hotbeds I've been visiting for the past five years: top music academies, sports teams, the Navy SEALs, Olympic training centers, and world-class businesses and schools.

3) We've been lucky enough to receive some good early reviews and kind words, such as:

"This book should be given to every graduate at commencement, every new parent in a delivery room, every executive on the first day of work. It is a guidebook — beautiful in its simplicity and backed by hard science — for nurturing excellence." – Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit.

"It's so juvenile to throw around hyperbolic terms such as 'life-changing,' but there's no other way to describe The Little Book of Talent. I was trying new things within the first half hour of reading it and haven't stopped since. Brilliant. And yes, life-changing." – Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence.

4) I'm eager to get your reaction. If you want to learn more, check out my blog at thetalentcode.com. And here's the Amazon link.

Thanks,

Dan
