Nurture Trumps Nature

One of my favorite podcast interviews over the last 6 years is with Swedish psychologist Anders Ericsson (ep. 437). He goes to the heart of not only what it means to be human, but what it means to be a human who achieves:

"Why are some people so amazingly good at what they do? Anywhere you look, from competitive sports and musical performance to science, medicine, and business, there always seem to be a few exceptional sorts who dazzle us with what they can do and how well they do it. And when we are confronted with such an exceptional person, we naturally tend to conclude that this person was born with something a little extra. "He is so gifted," we say, or, "She has a real gift." But do they? For more than thirty years I have studied these people, the special ones who stand out as experts in their fields--athletes, musicians, chess players, doctors, salespeople, teachers, and more. I have delved into the nuts and bolts of what they do and how they do it. I have observed, interviewed, and tested them. I have explored the psychology, the physiology, and the neuroanatomy of these extraordinary people. Over time I’ve come to understand that, yes, these people do have an extraordinary gift, which lies at the heart of their capabilities. But it is not the gift that people usually assume it to be, and it is even more powerful than we imagine. Most importantly, it is a gift that every one of us is born with and can, with the right approach, take advantage of."

Deliberate practice is the gift.

Success is not innate. You are not born with talent.
