The Tyranny of Talent

"The Tyranny of Talent" delves into the influence that our beliefs about "talent" have on our lives, from how we respond to challenges to how we interact with others. With a focus on sports, Joe Baker and his colleagues explore the concept of talent, its value in both athletic and non-athletic settings, and the misunderstandings that continue to limit our long-term development and success. This book offers a 21st century approach to sporting talent, challenging traditional viewpoints and emphasizing the critical roles of both nature and nurture in determining our destinies.
