Praise for The Little Book of Talent

The Little Book of Talent*should be given to every graduate at commencement,*every new parent in a delivery room, every executive on the first day of work. It is*a guidebook-beautiful in its simplicity and backed by hard science-for nurturing excellence.”-Charles Duhigg, bestselling author of*The Power of Habit

“It's so juvenile to throw around hyperbolic terms such as `life-changing,' but there's no other way to describe The Little Book of Talent. I was avidly trying new things within the first half hour of reading it and haven't stopped since. Brilliant. And yes: life-changing.”-Tom Peters, co-author of In Search of Excellence

NOVEMBER 2012 - AudioFile

Grover Gardner brings a level of athletic confidence to this compact audiobook on how to get maximum results from the effort we put into improving any skill or performance. Enhanced by production values that capture the full richness of his lower-register tones, he hits every syllable and phrasing challenge and yet sounds totally relaxed. His steadiness and clarity work well in delivering the author’s message that people of all ages learn better when they practice in specific ways and with specific kinds of coaching and mental paradigms. Based on his research on top athletic, arts, and business-training facilities around the world, Coyle’s 52 rules will help people stop wasting time and move quickly toward levels of performance they only dreamed were possible.
