The Genius In All Of Us: New Insights Into Genetics, Talent, And IQ - Plot & Excerpts
In fact, we have far more control over our genes—-and far less control over our environment—-than we think.Are [people] conceived with the capacity to play a number of qualitatively different developmental tunes—in other words, to live alternative lives?—Patrick BatesonBy now, the reader has realized that this is not really a book about genius in the conventional sense. It is not an instruction manual about how YOU TOO can become JUST LIKE WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE! or a secret decoder to help you ferret out the hidden geniuses among us.It is, instead, a simple call to all who aspire to achieve—in any arena and on any level. In a world obsessed with discovering innate abilities, the evidence gathered here offers a refreshing turn, away from the notion of fixed, inborn assets and toward the notion of buildable, developing assets. Now we can admire the greatest of the greats—Shakespeare, Einstein, da Vinci, Dante, Mozart, and so on—without getting trapped in an artificial distinction of us (innately ordinary) and them (innately great).
