Winner of the Harold Longman Award - Best Business Book of 2009
"Talent is Overrated is a profoundly important book. With clarity and precision, Geoff Colvin exposes one of the fundamental misconceptions of modern life-- that our ability to excel depends on innate qualities. Then, drawing on an array of compelling stories and stacks of research, he reveals the true path of high performance-- deliberate practice fueled by intrinsic motivation. This is the rare business book that will both prompt you to think and inspire you to act." - Daniel H. Pink, author, A Whole New Mind
