Bounce by Matthew Syed
The Myth of Talent and the Power of Practice
This book challenges the myth of innate talent, arguing that excellence is built through deliberate practice, purposeful training, and access to the right opportunities. Drawing on research into expertise, examples from sport, music, and business, and the author’s experience as an elite athlete, it shows how mindset, feedback, and resilience convert potential into top performance. It also explains the psychology of choking under pressure, why apparent prodigies emerge, and how systems and habits that embrace failure as learning can accelerate improvement for anyone.
