 Some nice reviews: 

"A deeply interesting and important book."



-- THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

"The Genius in All of Us has quietly blown my mind." 

-- LAURA MILLER, SALON

-- BOOKLIST (starred review)




"Readable and well-researched...The big idea in this book is that talent is not a matter of genetic endowment, but of an ongoing interaction between genes and environment. The nature/nurture debate is therefore dead (or should be)."

-- THE INDEPENDENT




"Inspiring."  

-- THE SCOTSMAN




"An incredibly well-researched meditation on the nature of human talent." 

-- KEVIN ROBERTS, CEO WORLDWIDE, SAATCHI & SAATCHI




"One of the best books I have read in the last year." 

-- RUFUS GRISCOM, BABBLE




"Rather than championing nurture and downplaying nature, [Shenk] paints a picture in which genes and environment interact in a much more complicated way."

-- THE LONDON OBSERVER (Paperback Book of the Week) 




"With a flair for explaining scientific research, [Shenk] debunks outdated assumptions that genes are destiny and shows how environment and mindset are just as important." 

-- THE DAILY BEAST (A Book Pick)




"Empowering...myth-busting...entertaining." 

-- KIRKUS REVIEWS
