“Talented people succeed largely because they devote considerable time, attention, and effort to their topic of predilection. Through training, they develop well-tuned algorithms and clever shortcuts that any of us could learn if we tried, and that are carefully devised to take advantage of our brain’s assets and get around its limits.” —Psychologist and neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene,”
Philip Reed, Wild Cards: A Year Counting Cards with a Professional Blackjack Player, a Priest, and a $30,000 Bankroll
