This was a very interesting book, along the line of The Talent Code or Outliers. It presents the premise that talent is not the distinguishing feature of skillful, effective people, but how knowledge and skill are developed through practice. It introduces the idea of deliberate practice, taken from a 1993 psychology paper. It is slightly business oriented, speaking several times about how organizations can apply the principals, or don't apply the principals as the case may be. However, mostly the business aspects are mentioned in passing, not detracting from the true appeal of the book.
