About the book

Can we really all be the best? Is the idea of innate ability holding us back? Could the ability to fail -- and then get over it -- be fundamental to success? Matthew syed, bestselling writer and international table-tennis champion (after many hours of practice) takes us on a revelatory exploration of being the best and the true nature of talent. In so doing he debunks many cherished myths -- that we can be born brilliant (and that child prodigies prove it); that we are restricted by our genetic make-up; and that social background matters. He also makes some surprising discoveries, including the impact on performance of intense religious belief, why athletes and others 'choke' and how a hungarian man turned his daughters into three of the best chess players in history. Entertaining, provoking and positive, bounce reveals how we can all be exceptional.
