A great article, and review, of what looks to be a good read. I especially liked this quote:
Colvin's argument calls to mind the apocryphal story about an encounter in Manhattan between a tourist and famous jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The tourist, the story goes, asked Gillespie how to get to Carnegie Hall, and Diz responded, "Practice, man, practice."
Of course, practice without a mentor, a coach, or a motivator, isn't going to take anyone far. The book review points this out as well: both Mozart and another famous virtuoso, Tiger Woods, had great teachers and motivators in their fathers.
