This book was short and too the point. So much great knowledge in such a little package is rare these days. I have read some reviews on here saying that its "a good book but not a system". I guess that's true to an extent, but I like the book better as it is. Right now you can pick out of the 52 tips to make your own system if that's what you want. I mean really how hard can it be? If the author tried to put the tips into a system I don't feel it would be applicable to such a wide variety of talents. Anyway the tips for improvement are well researched, simple, and I have found them to be very effective. Not only that but reading the book gives you so many things to try, you cant help being left motivated and hopeful to improve at whatever you wish.

A brilliant manner of bringing down to earth many myths of talent identification and talent development. A Must-read for any teacher, coach or parent!!!!

A short book but that's not mean it is oversimple so we can easily understand the message of the author throught the book and we all can use these tips in life. If you are too busy? start with 1 tips a day. If you have more time? read it all in the weekend and note which tips are suit for you in this moment. - Enjoy-

Für dieses Buch hat der Autor viele Tipps zusammengetragen von Weltklassetrainern im Sprot und z.B. auch Musiklehrern. "The little book of talent" gibt insgesamt 52 Tipps, wie man sein Talent weiter entwickeln kann. Natürlich sind nicht alle Tipps gleich wertvoll, aber einige sehr gute sind schon dabei. Ich lerne gerade Gitarre zu spielen, und z.B. der Tipp, neue Musikstücke in kleinste Mosaiksteinchen zu zerlegen, die isoliert geübt und dann zum Ganzen zusammengefügt werden, ist schon allein das Geld wert. Und natürlich: Dranbleiben. Unregelmäßiges Üben bringt nichts oder nur wenig. Also unbedingt lesen und einige Tipps umsetzen, dann hat man schon viel gewonnen.
