Product Description
A New York Times bestselling leader explores cutting-edge brain science to learn where talent comes from, how it grows—and how we can make ourselves smarter.
How does a penniless Russian tennis club with one inside court make more top 20 women players than the entire United States? How did a tiny town in rural Italy produce the dozens of painters and sculptors who ignited the Italian Renaissance? Why are so many fantastic soccer players from Brazil?
Where does talent come from, and how does it grow?
New research has revealed that myelin, once considered an inert form of insulation for brain cells, may be the holy grail of acquiring skill. Journalist Daniel Coyle spent years investigating talent hotbeds, interviewing world-class practitioners (top soccer players, violinists, fighter, pilots, artists, and bank robbers) and neuroscientists. In clear, accessible language, he presents a levelheaded strategy for skill acquisition—in athletics, fine arts, languages, science or math—that can be successfully applied through a person’s entire lifespan.

When I ordered my book I chose the seller with the highest rating. Didn’t matter because I never received my book. Only after I inquired after the date that the book was supposed to arrive that my payment was refunded. Why didn’t they just tell me when I ordered the book that they couldn’t deliver it as a replacement for of taking my money? I’m still wanting to buy the book but now have to start over.

Reader’s Rating: 5 / 5
Well-written, engaging, lots of “wow, I never thought of that” moments followed quickly by “but I should have… makes a ton of sense.” Only problem is the book makes me realize much of what I’ve done to renovate certain skills was incorrect; but at least now I know.

“Myelin wraps – it doesn’t unwrap.” Simple and incredible. According to Dr Fields et al, at UCLA, it is a neuronal highway lined by using its firing circuits and synapses to mold pattern of our overall brain capacity and capabilities.
According to their analysis it is only one directional occurrence. It only wraps, it does not unwrap. Once your skill set is wrapped, you cannot un-insulate it unless your system is aging or it is diseased.
I am most interested in diseased part, especially during the developmental age, where manifestation of neurodegenerative process is less pronounced due to more robust re-paving capacity at younger age.
Therefore, our neurodegenerative studies and research should re-focus and pay attention to the most likely marker in Multiple Sclerosis of Gliotoxin, which is highly catatonic for astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
In disease like Multiple Sclerosis, which attacks more women than men, it represents an initial pathogenic factor leading to the neuropath logical features of MS, such as blood-brain barrier breach through endothelial cells causing eventual demyelination.
