Title
The complexity of greatness: Beyond talent or practice
Abstract
What are the origins of greatness? Few other questions have caused such intense debate, controversy, and diversity of opinions. In recent years, a large body of research has accumulated that suggests that the origins of greatness are extraordinarily complex. Instead of talent
or practice, it's talent
and practice. Instead of nature
or nature, it's nature
via nurture. Instead of practice, it's
deliberate practice. Instead of the causes of greatness in general, it's the determinants of greatness specific to a field.
The Complexity of Greatness brings together a variety of perspectives and the most cutting-edge research on genes, talent, intelligence, expertise, deliberate practice, creativity, prodigies, savants, mindset, passion, and persistence. A variety of different domains are represented, including science, mathematics, expert memory, acting, visual arts, music, and sports. This book demonstrates that the truth about greatness is far more nuanced, complex, and fascinating than any one viewpoint or paradigm can possibly reveal. Indeed, it suggests that the time has come to go beyond talent or practice. Greatness is much, much more. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)

abstractTranslation: ¿Cuáles son los orígenes de la grandeza? Pocas otras preguntas han causado un debate tan intenso, controversia y diversidad de opiniones. En los últimos años, se ha acumulado una gran cantidad de investigaciones que sugieren que los orígenes de la grandeza son extraordinariamente complejos. En lugar de talento o práctica, es talento y práctica. En lugar de naturaleza o naturaleza, es naturaleza a través de la crianza. En lugar de práctica, es una práctica deliberada. En lugar de las causas de la grandeza en general, son los determinantes de la grandeza específicos de un campo. La complejidad de la grandeza reúne una variedad de perspectivas y la investigación más vanguardista sobre los genes, el talento, la inteligencia, la experiencia, la práctica deliberada, la creatividad, los prodigios, los sabios, la mentalidad, la pasión y la persistencia. Se representan una variedad de dominios diferentes, como la ciencia, las matemáticas, la memoria experta, la actuación, las artes visuales, la música y los deportes. Este libro demuestra que la verdad sobre la grandeza es mucho más matizada, compleja y fascinante de lo que cualquier punto de vista o paradigma puede revelar. De hecho, sugiere que ha llegado el momento de ir más allá del talento o la práctica. La grandeza es mucho, mucho más.
