What if talent is the myth that's letting you off the hook? Jonathan Doyle on Daniel Chambliss's famous study of elite Olympic swimmers — years embedded with the best in the world, searching for the talent magic and finding none. What he found instead: "Superlative performance is really a confluence of dozens of small skills or activities drilled into habit and fitted together in a synthesized whole." From Aristotle's arete (excellence as habit) to Greene's Mastery, a golf lesson, and a decade of 40,000 people a year on the road: excellence isn't quantitative, it's qualitative — and it's mundane. Stop looking for the secret. There isn't one.
"Whatever gift you've been given — when you are living in your gift, you bless people, you bless the world."
