Brief review: Why are so many great soccer players from Brazil? Why Italy produces so many world renowned painters and sculptors? Why younger kids in the family are the fastest runners? How Se Ri Pak change the outlook of Gold in South Korea? A brilliant book emphasizing that greatness isn’t born; it’s grown. Citing hundreds of research and real life examples, Daniel Coyle suggests that practice is the essence of our success. Not only that, the environment around us also plays a powerful role in shaping us. I am in big believer in the power of practice and this is one of the reasons I like this book very much.
