What made Wayne Gretzky the greatest hockey player of all timewasn’t his speed on the ice or the uncanny accuracy of his shots,but rather his ability to predict where the puck was going to be aninstant before it arrived. In other words, it was Gretzky’s brainthat made him exceptional. Over the past fifteen years, scientistshave found that what distinguishes the greatest musicians,athletes, and performers from the rest of us isn’t just their motorskills or athletic abilities—it is the ability to anticipate eventsbefore they happen. A great musician knows how notes will soundbefore they’re played, a great CEO can predict how a businessdecision will turn out before it’s made, a great chef knows what arecipe will taste like before it’s prepared.
