Comments on: Chapter 1 — The Sweet Spot: The Rule of High-Velocity Learning http://thetalentcode.com Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:43:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: William George http://thetalentcode.com/excerpt/comment-page-1/#comment-10873 William George Thu, 20 Jan 2011 03:06:31 +0000 http://dev.thetalentcode.com/?page_id=109#comment-10873 I think Coyle's ideas are inflated in order to write the book. I find it interesting that now that we have done away with superstition and religion, Coyle comes along and endows evolution with new magical powers. The book is filled with them. My wife, an occupational therapist who works with a wide variety of ages in brain and body rehabilitation, just laughed when I read sections of Coyle's book. She thought it was hokey stuff with the overemphasis on myelin. It is almost as bad as the superstitions we are trying to get rid of! Many of his ideas are superficial. On the positive side, we do see talent hotbeds and he does point these out and sometimes gives a reasonable explanation for them. I think Coyle’s ideas are inflated in order to write the book.

Deep practice!
