There is nothing original about Bounce, the premise of all concepts have been presented before, but the way Matthew Syed delivers them really makes you think. He writes wonderfully and being able to call on his own life experiences gives fantastic perspective. This should be part of the 'essentials' list when you are looking to develop and grow as a person, or in my case as a parent developing and growing my children into successful adults one day.

This book views the outperformers in a new and interesting way.

At the end tends to focus perhaps too much in sports but the principles can be applicable to other areas.

I read Black Box Thinking before this title and so expectations were high. This book isn't quite up to that standard but still well worth the read/listen.

Syed is a fantastic writer
