You don't have to be a genius to achieve remarkable things.
Most athletes are not born with a natural advantage. Three top chess players were sisters, and their success was planned by their parents before they were even born. Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool have spent thirty years studying geniuses, sports stars, and child prodigies in music. Their remarkable finding shows that success simply requires the right kind of practice. In their book Peak, they provide valuable advice on how we can set goals, accept guidance, and mobilize ourselves. Exceptional individuals are born with a unique ability that we all share: the ability to develop our brains and bodies through our own efforts.
