The Little Book of Talent: 52 Tips for Improving Your Skills Kindle Edition

It will help the potential buyer or reader to understand how a self-help book of this type comes about. The author is a known professional, which means he will give you your money's worth whatever he writes about. You may also bet he will pick a topic in his 'little book' that offers solutions to a concern of millions. Having the talent and goal, he then finds a path to action. Finally, he packages the answers into a tidy 'little book' to make it universally palatable. His next stop will be speaking tours, but that doesn't concern us here.This is what has happened to 'The Little Book of Talent'. On that basis, I recommend any self-striving reader to inhale it. In one evening you may change the rest of your life. There is nothing in it that someone who grew up on the farm and school of hard knocks doesn't know, but not everyone was so lucky to get these lessons for ten bucks.

Both books say basically the same thing. But The Talent Code is more focused on telling stories and analysing research; The Little Book, with its extremely practical approach, could easily have been an appendix to The Talent Code.So, if you want guidelines for developing a talent, buy this one. If you want a good, informative read, but which will not be so actionable, buy The Talent Code.,

I read this book after reading "The Talent Code" by the same author, Daniel Coyle. "The Talent Code" gave a terrific overview of how complex skills can be acquired over time and ways to accelerate the process. This book is much more granular with 50+ specific, practical tips.I highly recommend reading "The Talent Code" first since it will provide a higher level of enthusiasm (the "ignition") to read this book and try the suggested tips.

Humans lack any major physical attributes to face the physical world except the power to mentally adapt by developing skills. Skills are developed in humans by a process called myelinezation that allows the brain to develop incredible skill, speed, and adaptability of the skill to new situations. The Little Book of Talent teaches you how to develop skills in the fastest and most reliable way by studying the teaching methodologies of the best "talent hotbeds" or world class schools. You can develop nearly superhuman skills like pro athletes, musicians, etc. by learning these techniques. This book is even better than the first book, The Talent Code, because this books tells you the actual practical techniques to adopt to gain impressive skills in any area you choose. This book is a definite must read.

Without reading The Talent Code this is a okay book. In conjunction with The Talent Code you will be very pleased because of the deeper understanding of the concepts. The books both are academic in nature but written in a understandable fashion. This will help you see how the process you use can be improved in almost any area of life.

I'll keep this short (much like the book).Read this if you're a teacher, coach, or mentor. Read this if you're an athlete, student, or hobbyist. Read this even if you don't enjoy reading! I guarantee you there's information in here that you've never considered. And what's great, it's all been distilled from the best academies and coaches in the world. For example - "The key to effective engraving is to create an intense connection: to watch and listen so closely that you can imagine the feeling of performing the skill." What this does is create a 'mental blueprint' to be used in combination with actual, physical practice. And there are 52 tips of similarly valuable (or less valuable) information at the ready!Get it already!

This tiny book is loaded with great, easy to implement ideas that really did completely change the way I practice and drill for dancing. I have definitely noticed an improvement following such basic but brilliant ideas such as repeat a move/routine/combination you are trying to learn three times, do something else for 10 minutes, then do the drill another three times. I find I learn the moves much faster that way then repeating on end. I wish I had this book at the start of my dance career. I'm recommending this to all my fellow dancers, and any musicians/athletes I know.

If you've read The Talent Code then this is a good addition to your library. It comprises 52 primary chapters, which are basically bits of insight based on the principles from the original book. Many of them are just a single page, and the rest aren't much longer. Reading initial book first may be useful, it isn't totally necessary.

1. Decide what you want to learn/do2. Implement the learning techniques described in this book.3. Never give up, ever.4. Become very good at it.

I had become interested in the idea that the concepts of being talented or a prodigy are overrated, and that instead we should consider the value of focussed practice. I did not want an academic work that referred to source material, but rather a concise book of hints and tips to help me improve my skills at a pastime. This book fits the bill and is full of interesting ideas, albeit inevitably some are more relevant to any specific activity than others.

As an assessment design specialist (Rob Williams Assessment Ltd), I found this talent guide invaluable in terms of how to look for and assess different talents.

just what I needed. Thanks

I read The Talent Code buy Daniel Coyle and recommended it to one of my clients who then purchased this 'follow up'. Both are as excellent as one another and a great tool for teachers. I highly recommend both.
