Matthew Syed is a British author, journalist, and former international table tennis player. He represented Great Britain at two Olympic Games and was England’s number one player for nearly a decade. After retiring from competitive sport, he became a columnist for The Times and began writing books about performance, learning, and decision-making.
His non-fiction for adults includes Bounce, which argues that practice matters more than innate talent, and Black Box Thinking, which examines how organizations learn from failure. He has also written a popular series of children’s books starting with You Are Awesome, designed to help young readers develop a growth mindset and build confidence.
