The gold mine effect: Crack the secrets of high performance

Rasmus Ankersen

Westland Ltd

Price: Rs. 350

In an engaging narrative, the author has woven his experiences of staying with athletes, coaches and parents with the lessons he learnt while observing their way of life. Though he has focussed on sportspersons, the findings are applicable to any field.

In a systematic way, Ankersen breaks down all misconceptions and beliefs surrounding talent and presents his findings. He talks about how to identify talent, the importance of proper parenting, why child prodigies fail to realise their potential in the long run, the need for having belief and several other aspects that lead to high performance.
