The books I mentioned in the video are "Talent is Overrated", "Make It Stick", and "The Language Instinct". The chick-sexing example is from the book "Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain". You can read about "competence vs performance" on wikipedia. Thomas Metzinger, and meditation in general, got me thinking about a lot of the stuff I talk about in the very beginning of the video. If there are any other specific ideas you would like sources for, let me know.
