Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else(ISBN=9781591842941) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Asked to explain why a few people truly excel, most of us

offer one of two answers. The first is hard work. Yet we all know

plenty of hard workers who have been doing the same job for years

or decades without becoming great. The other possibility is that

the elite possess an innate talent for excelling in their field. We

assume that Mozart was born with an astounding gift for music, and

Warren Buffett carries a gene for brilliant investing. The trouble

is, scientific evidence doesn't support the notion that specific

natural talents make great performers.

According to distinguished journalist Geoff Colvin, both the hard

work and natural talent camps are wrong. What really makes all the

difference is a highly specific kind of effort-"deliberate

practice"- that few of us pursue when we're practicing golf or

piano or stockpicking.

Based on a wide array of scientific research, Talent Is Overrated

shares the secrets of extraordinary performance and shows how to

apply these principles. It features the stories of extraordinary

people who never stopped challenging themselves and who achieved

world- class greatness through deliberate practice- including

Benjamin Franklin, comedian Chris Rock, football star Jerry Rice,

and top CEOs Jeffrey Immelt and Steven Ballmer.

One  The Mystery

　but where does it really come from?

Two  Talent Is Overrated

Three  How Smart Do You Have to Be?
