About the book
David Epstein examines the age-old nature versus nurture debate through the lens of elite athletic performance. Analyzing fascinating stories of world champions—from Kenyan runners to Dutch volleyball players—the book exposes how genes, environment, smart training, and chance combine in unexpected ways to create excellence.
With scientific rigor and engaging narrative, Epstein demonstrates that there is no universal formula for athletic success, but rather a complex interplay of biological and cultural factors that challenges our assumptions about innate talent.
