Siempre ha existido una fascinación por aquellas personas que realizan con una gran pericia su trabajo, y siempre se ha tratado de darle una explicación, y ante la falta de la misma, ha sido habitual recurrir a los dioses o a algún poder especial con el que han sido bendecidos. Es entonces cuando la palabra Talento aparece como algo que se recibe, y que quien lo hace muy bien en la música, el deporte, la danza o los negocios es que nació con un talento especial. El libro que tiene en sus manos le pone ante sí la necesidad de reflexionar sobre lo que está detrás del talento y la pericia, sin caer en argumentaciones simplistas.
