Thank you, Sean, for this wonderful book—Suddenly Talented. First, I read it quickly because it was impossible for me to stop.
Your way of writing makes the profound simple, and the brain, instead of getting tired, wants more.
Plus, the illustrations are like a hug from a friend that makes you smile and feel at home. Even reading it for the first time I always felt in my “safe zone”; never intimidated, and that's why I enjoyed it from the first moment.
Now I read it slowly, very slowly, because each paragraph makes me stop and reflect.
And it creates such an emotional connection for me that it is not only your book, but also my book.
It is because it speaks to me, and it also speaks about me: about my way of thinking, my fears, my insecurities; but above all it gives me hope and excites me. Innate talent, genius, that rare treasure, that kind of lottery that we have been told that, if you were not born, you have little to do and, if you try, you will probably never get out of mediocrity.
That lie that is annihilating the creativity that we all have innate, you dismantle it and show us that, in reality, having talent is within our reach, because it is a learning process.
But not only do you say that, but you show us how to achieve it: you teach us how important and crucial energy is and how to manage it so that it works in our favor without anxiety overtaking us, but rather so that we feel confident and in a safe place. Also how to see that errors are our necessary allies in the learning process, and how to reduce them without getting frustrated and staying excited while enjoying the progress we make along the way.
In short, in your book ‘Suddenly Talented', you teach us the most important thing: that there is something more or less close to genius that we will never be, nor do we have to be, and you call it “Doable greatness”; what a great word! For me, it is the perfect and brilliant definition of the goal to achieve in any activity we set out to do if we make the effort to achieve it.
And from a rational and logical approach, it gives hope and motivation to break the invisible barrier that does not allow us to advance in what we would like to do because we think that we will never be good enough.
It is a book, in short, that makes us believe more in ourselves, in our potential and, also, feel happier and more satisfied with our achievements as we progress in our learning process.
This book—Suddenly Talented, is helping me in such a way that I have it by my side like a friend to reread it many more times because it is a great source of inspiration from a very enjoyable approach that, like everything you write, always provides something original and valuable.
I congratulate you because you have written something great that will help many people.
I thank you very much for this wonderful gift.
Thanks again!
