Talent Is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else

The most important books I've read in the last 10 yrs (with respect to professional growth) are: Talent is Overrated: What Really Separates World-Class Performers from Everybody Else, by G. Colvin The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, by C. Duhigg These books have reshaped how I work and how I think about work. With the knowledge contained in these books it's not hard to outline the daily routines needed to be great at just about anything.
