I’ve just read a very interesting book.
It’s titled ‘Bounce: The Myth of Talent” by Matthew Syed, and was picked up almost entirely on a whim while scrabbling around for something to read on the train. It deals with a number of theories and predominantly with the idea of natural born talent – or rather, the absence of it. Instead, it claims that ‘gifts’ are actually the result of incredible hard work and fortuitous chains of events in the lives of those we regard as ‘talented’.
