Description

We love to win and hate to lose, whether it is on the playing field or on the ballot box, in the place of work or in the school room. In this bold new take a look at human behavior, award-winning journalist and Olympian Matthew Syed explores the truth about our competitive nature—why we win, why we do not, and how we truly play the game of life. Bounce reveals how competition—the most vivid, primal, and dramatic of human pursuits—provides vital insight into among the most controversial issues of our time, from biology and economics, to psychology and culture, to genetics and race, to sports and politics. Backed by state of the art scientific research and case studies, Syed shatters long-held myths about meritocracy, talent, performance, and the mind. He explains why some people thrive under pressure and others choke, and weighs the value of innate ability against that of practice, hard work, and will. From sex to math, from the motivation of children to the culture of big business, Bounce shows how competition provides a master key with which to unlock the mysteries of the world.
