Luke Shepherd TC Epilogue Summary

Chapter Summary: The talent code is something that applies in all facets of life. It's not just for getting better at instruments, but even large scale companies are myelin machines that compete better with more myelin around the right circuits. Success and skill is harnessed using the same principles all across the board, in reading, science, math, music, business, homemaking, cooking, etc. Deep practice plus ignitions equals skill, and the more deep practice and ignition the more skill. 

Key Concept: Skill at anything is developed as we deep practice and as we keep our pools of motivational energy alive. 

Key Terms: cognitive-behavioral therapy

Continual learning

Making Connections: As a future parent I can apply these skills I'm learning about how to develop skill to teaching them and helping them build skill at whatever it is they want to. If I want to improve my singing voice it will take hours and hours of deep practice. If my kid wants to do the same I will find a good coach/teacher of whatever he wants to do, steer him in the direction of deep practice, and encourage them every step of the way and show them what they can become with hard work and motivation.
