- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5interesting ideas (not terribly novel) but would have been a good magazine article - dragging things out and repeating them just pads it into a book-length work
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An interesting book about how people like Mozart and Federer really got good (hint: it's not because they were naturally good or had innate talent).
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Most of this book I found interesting. The premise that you need 10,000 hours of focussed, interested practice that extends you, rather than repeating the first hour 10,000 times was probably what I got most from this book. I found the sections on African runners a little bit off topic and the section on East German athletes strangely voyeuristic and sensationalistic.His observations from his own perspective as a top level athlete were mostly good, though there were times when it didn't flow as evenly as it could have.I had the impression that it was a series of essays rather than a cohesive book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5About: Syed covers why successful people become so excellent at their craft.Pros: Very interesting, shows the importance of practice, well written with good examples.Cons: First section is pretty much a rehash of Gladwell's Outliers.Grade: B+
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So it turns out there's no such thing as talent, there's only hard work. This concept is immediately counter-intuitive, but the further through Bounce you get, the more it makes sense. They've identified ten years as the magic time it takes to produce a world champion - and only if that ten years is filled with lots of purposeful practice. Even Mozart turns out to have put in the prerequisite ten years before he wrote his first true masterpiece. The overall message is profound. Where it really hit home for me, as a father, was reading about the studies in which two groups of children were told either "aren't you clever!" or "didn't you work hard!" and the dramatic effects of each statement. This is the first time I've stumbled upon these ideas. The ideas are not the author's own but he neatly summarises studies across multiple disciplines, adding his own interesting research, resulting in a very accessible introduction to the topic of excellence.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bounce made me rethink (still in progress) how I approach my day to day activities. Which ones I would like to get good at? And which ones I would just like to enjoy while passing time? Which ones I would continue to enjoy while improving my skills?
The chapter about purposeful practice is very useful for anyone playing a musical instrument.
The last chapter was a cherry on the cake: ethics of human augmentation. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Book is an easy read and presents convincing arguments in favour of rigourous, motivated, driven, focussed and purposeful practice to achieve success in ANY field by ANYONE. Later half of book meanders off from original thesis somewhat but connects in the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Highly entertaining book with a good message--hard work and thoughtful practice is much more important than 'talent.' I had read two of the books that he draws examples from which made parts of the book rather derivative. However, the original parts, especially those dealing with his table tennis career, were delightful.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good literary non-fiction work, which draws together findings of several scient;ts (Ericsson, tc.) to support the idea that 10 years practice is what leads to expertise and that that genetics do not play a strong role in predicting sports success.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book was to a degree inspirational but it lost its course a third the way through. Too many pages were wasted on athletes and their superstitions, and the section East German doping scandals belonged to another book. And the discussion on race and athletic prowess seemed moot to me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A compelling, readable book arguing for the dominance of practice over innate talent as a determinant of "skill".
