This book is for those
who want to achieve outstanding results in whatever they do;
who love vibrant books and inspiring stories that stir a storm of emotions. The book will reveal the true components of success. You will realize: it is not about hard work at all, but about who you are.
"Everything you knew about success is wrong. Set goals. Work hard. Be persistent. You could recite this recipe for success even if you were woken up in the middle of the night. And it doesn't work—not for you, not for anyone else."
You work all day, you are exhausted by evening, and you haven't moved a step closer to success. The point is that success is defined not by what you do, but by who you are.
This is the conclusion reached by Dan Waldschmidt, who researched more than 1,000 stories of ordinary people from business, science, politics, and sports who achieved outstanding success. Among these people are a restaurant chef who overcame a deadly illness and eventually earned 3 Michelin stars; runners who cover incredible distances and overcome themselves; an emergency medical technician who quit his job and launched a successful company; figure skater Joannie Rochette, who competed in the Olympics three days after her mother's heart attack and managed to win a medal; Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first woman in history to go into space at age 26; and many others. All these people shared several common traits, which the author and his team identified.
