Description: 'Fresh insights into the nature of exceptional peformanceA?¦. A deeply interesting and important bookA? (New York Times Book Review) that offers a revolutionary and life-changing message on the new science of human potential. Is true greatness obtainable from everyday means and everyday genes? Conventional wisdom says no, that a lucky few are simply born with certain gifts. Now you can forget everything you think you know about genes, talent, and intelligence, and take a look at the amazing new evidence. Here, interweaving cutting-edge research from numerous scientific fields, David Shenk offers a new view of human potential, giving readers more of a sense of ownership over their accomplishments, and freeing parents from the bonds of genetic determinism. As Shenk points out, our genes are not a A?blueprintA? that dictate individual destinies. Rather we are all the product of interplay between genes and outside stimuliA?a dynamic that we can influence. It is a revolutionary and life-changing message.
