Carol's book is an excellent exploration of what it takes to become better, at anything. an inspirational philosophy that shifts away from ideas of "i'm great/terrible" and towards "i can improve no matter where i am". even if you don't agree with every argument made in the book (i didn't) it's a thought-provoking read nonetheless. especially useful for people who have strong ideas around their "natural talents". i can safely say i'll be taking many of the ideas in this book with me into the future - optimistic and practical.
