"Fresh insights into the nature of exceptional peformance…. A deeply interesting and important book” (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 “blueprint” that dictate individual destinies. Rather we are all the product of interplay between genes and outside stimuli—a dynamic that we can influence. It is a revolutionary and life-changing message. Nature and nurture. Gifted persons. Genetic psychology. 7 cbc origcop 2 ncip 20 y-gencatlg lcc 0 BK cmc 124434 124434 0 0 lcc 0 0 APT BJB BJB APT 2025-07-25 0 BF341 .S54 2011 00000194906 2025-07-25 17:00:18 1 2025-07-25 BK
