What is the secret of talent? How do we unlock it? In this groundbreaking work, journalist and New York Times bestselling author Daniel Coyle provides parents, teachers, coaches, businesspeople—and everyone else—with tools they can use to maximize potential in themselves and others.
Whether you’re coaching soccer or teaching a child to play the piano, writing a novel or trying to improve your golf swing, this revolutionary book shows you how to grow talent by tapping into a newly discovered brain mechanism.
Drawing on cutting-edge neurology and firsthand research gathered on journeys to nine of the world’s talent hotbeds—from the baseball fields of the Caribbean to a classical-music academy in upstate New York—Coyle identifies the three key elements that will allow you to develop your gifts and optimize your performance in sports, art, music, math, or just about anything.
• Deep Practice Everyone knows that practice is a key to success. What everyone doesn’t know is that specific kinds of practice can increase skill up to ten times faster than conventional practice.
• Ignition We all need a little motivation to get started. But what separates truly high achievers from the rest of the pack? A higher level of commitment—call it passion—born out of our deepest unconscious desires and triggered by certain primal cues. Understanding how these signals work can help you ignite passion and catalyze skill development.
• Master Coaching What are the secrets of the world’s most effective teachers, trainers, and coaches? Discover the four virtues that enable these “talent whisperers” to fuel passion, inspire deep practice, and bring out the best in their students.
These three elements work together within your brain to form myelin, a microscopic neural substance that adds vast amounts of speed and accuracy to your movements and thoughts. Scientists have discovered that myelin might just be the holy grail: the foundation of all forms of greatness, from Michelangelo’s to Michael Jordan’s. The good news about myelin is that it isn’t fixed at birth; to the contrary, it grows, and like anything that grows, it can be cultivated and nourished.
Combining revelatory analysis with illuminating examples of regular people who have achieved greatness, this book will not only change the way you think about talent, but equip you to reach your own highest potential.

The four Virtues
1. The Matrix: the vast grid of task-specific knowledge that distinguishes the best teachers and allows them to creatively and effectively respond to a student's efforts.
2. Perceptiveness:Though the gaze can be friendly, it's not chiefly about friendship. It's about information. It's about figuring you out. On the micro level, they constantly monitored the student's reaction to their coaching, checking whether their message was being absorbed. This led to a telltale rhythm of speech. The caoch would deliver a chunk of information, then pause, hawkeyeing the listener as if watching the needle of a Geiger counter.
3. The GPS reflex. Most master coaches delivered their information to their studetns in a series of short, vivid, high-definition bursts. They never began sentences with "Please, would you"; instead they spoke in short imperatives. “Now do X" was the most common construction, the "you will" was implied.
concise, locating mistakes and their solutions in the same vivid stroke. It was more like probing, strategic impatience.
4. Theatrical honesty. Truly great teachers connect with students because of who they are as moral standars. There's an empathy, a selflessness, because you're not trying to tell the student something they know, but are finding, in their effort, a place to make a real connection.
Skills like soccer, writing, and comedy are flexible-circuit skills, meaning that they require us to grow vast ivy-vine circuits that we can flick through to navigate an ever-changing set of obstacles. Playing violin, golf, gymnastics, and figure skating, on the other hand, are consistent-circuit skills, depending utterly on a solid foundation of technique that enables us to reliably re-create the fundamentals of an ideal performance. (This is why self-taught violinists, skaters, and gymnasts rarely reach world-calss level and why self-taught novelists, comedians, and soccer players do all the time.)
He can walk up to someone he's never met, in an atmosphere thick with unknowns and money and wariness, and forge a connection. He can use that connection to find the truth about someone whose talent is yet to be known to the world and maybe even to himeself.
I feel it in a changed attitude toward failure, which doesn't feel like a setback or the writing on the wall anymore, but like a path forward.引自第57页
We tend to think of our memory as tape recorder, but that's wrong. It's a living structure, a scaffold of nearly infinite size. The more we generate impulses, encountering and overcoming difficulties, the more scaffolding we build. The more scaffolding we build, the faster we learn.

大部分用故事来论述一个理论或方法的书都让你忍不住想跳读，“怎么那么多废话，告诉我结论不就得了？” 比如这本。但有仅少数的书让你觉得“故事实在太精彩太有启发了，理论变得生动了许多”比如The Power of Habit。这是为什么呢？

很棒的一本论述怎么成功的书。三点：刻苦的学习/工作，燃烧的热情和一个好老师。中心就是找出自己的不足，不断克服困难。前两点都是自己可控的，能遇上一个好老师，就有点不在自己可控范围之内了。

操作层面的建议没什么问题，科学原理层面解释的比较表层牵强，大概说是通过练习能够刺激增加神经轴索(axon)外层包裹着的髓鞘(myelin)的厚度，但又没看到引用什么study去支持这个说法，反而举了好多故事型的栗子？把功劳都归为myelin有点过于简单了，这种半科普又非科普的书真是要逼死强迫症。。。另外写的真的很啰嗦
