The Talent Code: Unlocking the Secret of Skill in Sports, Art, Music, Math, and Just About Everything Else by Daniel Coyle
A book every teacher, learner, or anyone instructing people should read and study. Science has uncovered much on how we acquire knowledge and skill, but not near enough of the techniques and insights have been made available to learners.

While Mezirch’s Bringing Down the House was a much better book, thanks in no small part to a less squishy foundation of “inside” accounts, Aaron Sorkin penning the script and Fincher behind the camera gives me hope that I won’t have to immediately Unfriend the flick on theater exit.

This is a discussion that more people, in all walks of life, should be having. We can be better learners and need to be better teachers.
