Bounce: The Myth of Talent and the Power of Practice by Matthew Syed

In this insightful and provocative book, former Olympian Matthew Syed challenges the idea that success is driven by natural talent.

It also explores how ideas about talent affect issues like race, gender, class, and global inequality. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery from Readers’ Republik.
