Reviews

Initial thougths: Lots of interesting ideas in Rebel Talent, some of which were new to me while others were familiar because my education detracted a little from the norm and I've not been on the most conventional career path since I graduated from uni. Anyway, the core of the book is that boredom kills drive and innovation and that in order to progress, we must be willing to deviate from the what everyone else is doing. Gino backs this up with results from her research and offers insight into expertise vis-à-vis problem-solving. I'll probably revisit the ebook sometime, so I can highlight passages that particularly stand out to me.
