Short motivational talk arguing that 'genius' is not an innate gift but the result of brain adaptability (neuroplasticity) and practiced emotional growth; uses famous high-achievers as examples to illustrate that learning and training — not genetics — create greatness.

Chapters

Gift of giftedness is not giftedness, but the ability of our brains and our emotional architecture to adapt. What made Kobe? Kobe, Mandela, Mandela, Buffett. Buffett, Sergey Brin, Zuckerberg, Kevin Systrom, Richard Branson. What makes the great ones great is not natural giftedness. It's a brain that can adapt. Adapt through neuroplasticity and a heart that can grow by practice. So genius is not genetics. Genius is learning and training.
