By profession, I am a dance instructor and choreographer. I am also a hobbyist musician and the opening story about Clarissa demanded my attention. Though dance was not an inclusive topic in the book, I found that every page shared elements that I have since brought to the classroom (and into my personal music training), and I am now approaching students in various and dynamic ways. This book has helped me to realize that there is more to individual students than what is commonly known, but that it is possible to create a solid formula for training. In no way does it sound easy, but the plethora of information provided in The Talent Code has definitely opened doors for me. This is a book I will return to again and again as a guide. The magic of myelin must be shared with the world! Hello, Daniel

You ask a great question. The answer brain science gives us is that the essential pathways for getting better never change. It might take longer when you get older, but the core ideas (getting to the edge of ability, reaching, paying attention to mistakes, repeating, attending) never change. Sort of like fitness. You might not make the Olympic team if you're 50, but if you're going to get better, you have to train. Hi Stuart, Thanks for sharing that. You ask a great question.

As the father of three teen kids, it has prompted me to reinforce some of the things I've been doing with them, tweak others and dump others. As a lifelong learner now aged 57, it has encouraged me to bring more strategy and mindfulness to my own activity learning (piano, samba drumming, tennis, running) as well as to my work. Bearing in mind that large numbers of people are well into middle age and beyond and need to reskill or upskill, I'm wondering what scope there is for adult learners to apply the Talent Code principles.

Coyle has done a great job in explaining the myraid mysteries of talent and its growth. With the completion of each successive chapter of the book, I experienced a good sensation. It felt like a spontaneous burst of Dopamine, a burly wrap of Myelin, a feeling that you've just experienced the secrets of talent and human psychology being uncovered!

The way we teach the physics and the feelings to individuals is by putting them through series of drills that will make them more sensitive to the improprieties in their swing. Hence producing more Myelin. The research that you have contributed to, it is allowing people to see that the best form of practice is through drills. Drills that allow them to turn on a part of their brain that they weren't using before. This is just like when they first learned to walk. I would be very interested in hearing what your thoughts are on pursuing an in to golf, that is cohesive to your research. All the best.

I had no idea what it was called when I was little and learning all the skills I was learning until I finished this book. I had my own HSE once I realized I had mastered 100for100 free throws or dribbling the ball in ways that took yrs of trail and error, mistake after mistake but learning by feel and deep purposeful practice. WOW!! What a feeling to finally understand how and why I could be sooo good at many sports. I had the time and I practiced thousands of hours not because I was so talented..kinda humbling but revealing and attitude changing as well. Thanks Thank you very much for this book!
