I'd also say it's worth taking a look at the book Talent is Overrated. It explores HOW you practice, a step beyond the 10,000 hour rule. http://www.amazon.com/Talent-Overrated-World-Class-Performer...

There is also Talent Code, http://www.amazon.com/The-Talent-Code-Greatness-Grown/dp/055...

It has interesting framework, divided into two. The first part is what you can do. The second is how you can create an environment that keeps you on track.
