I do not give out five stars lightly -- I do have some professional standards --, however, the Talent Code is one of those books. It comes in at no more than 200 slim pages which is remarkable considering this is all it took for Daniel Coyle to overturn the way I thought about the brain and the way it learns. Though I imagine much of this science has been disputed in the past and will be disputed in the future, as we struggle towards an all-encompassing model of the brain and its functionality, Mr. Coyle's arguments here about the biomechanics of learning are fascinating and enlightening for anyone even mildly interested in the human capacity to learn and achieve. I cannot more highly recommend this book to parents, siblings, and or those simply curious about their own potential. (5/5 Stars)
In hopes of uniting readers with those books that cannot be put down, I present Insight From The Sightless, a blog composed of reviews of books, both good and bad, that I've read, since 2009 when I began tracking my literary consumption. As I average six books a week, ranging from non-fiction to SF, , most topics of interest to me and my readers should be well represented. If you have reads you'd like to recommend, please do leave your ideas with your comments.

The Talent Code by Daniel Coyle
