This is an amazing audiobook. There is so much combined research to completely dispell the myth that success is based on talent.

It made such an impact that I went to interiew the book's author, Matthew Syed.

Any additional comments?

More persuasive and to the point than other books such as 'Mastery' which can be dry long winded and hard to relate to. A very good read for those looking into fixed and growth mindsets. Performance is British and does not take any adjusting to.

Excellent, best in its genre

I truly enjoyed this book. It changed the way I think about how to best approach self development. On top of it being inspirational, it was very enjoyable to listen to. It's full of entertaining real-life examples that bring home an "aha" moment in every chapter. Note that many examples in this book are taken from Malcom Gladwell's books such as the Tipping Point and Outliers. I recommend it.
