Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Sources and Index. "What if everything you know about raw talent, hard work, and great performance is wrong? Odds are that few, if any, of the people around you are truly great at what they do - awesomely, amazingly, world-class excellent. But why aren't they? Why don't they manage businesses like Jack Welch or Andy Grove, or play golf like Tiger Woods, or play the violin like Itzhak Perlman? 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, and some have been doing the same job for twenty, thirty, or forty years. Why isn't that enough to make them 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, just as Warren Buffett carries the gene for making brilliant investments. The trouble is, scientific evidence doesn't support the notion that specific natural talents make great performers - and such talents may not even exist. So what's the real solution to the mystery of high performance? 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 that few of us pursue when we're practicing golf or piano or stockpicking. "Deliberate practice" isn't the kind of hard work that your parents told you about. It's difficult. It hurts. But more of it equals better performance. Tons of it equals great performance. Based on a wide array of scientific research, Talent Is Overrated shares the secrets of extraordinary performance and how to apply these principles to our lives and work. You'll read about extraordinary people who never stop challenging themselves and who achieved world-class greatness by applying the ideas in this book. Learn how: Chris Rock prepared for a high-stakes performance for twenty thousand people by practicing his two-hour routine for months at small local clubs. Ben Franklin spent hours each day rewriting popular essays as poetry and then turning them back into prose to hone his writing skills. The Polgar sisters were trained from birth to become some of the finest chess masters in the world, by parents who had no exceptional talent for chess. Jerry Rice, the greatest receiver in NFL history, devised an off-season training regimen that was so demanding his coaches wouldn't describe it to the public for fear they'd injure themselves. Jeff Immelt and Steve Ballmer transformed themselves from directionaless entry-level cubicle mates at Procter & Gamble into the CEOs of the world's two most valuable corporations, before the age of fifty. Colvin explains cutting-edge research and eye-opening facts that debunk the myth of innate talent. This new mind-set, combined with his practical advice, will change the way you think about your job and career and will inspire you to achieve more in all you do. Most profoundly, Colvin shows that great performance isn't reserved for a preordained few. The price may be high - but it is available to us all." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
