The book will tell you about the true components of success. You will understand: it's not about diligence at all, but about who you are. "Everything you knew about success is wrong. Set goals. Work hard. Be persistent. You can repeat this recipe for success even if you wake up at night and ask. And it doesn't work—not for you, not for anyone else." You work all day, get very tired in the evening and are not one step closer to success. The thing is that success is determined not by what you do, but by who you are. This conclusion was made by Dan Waldschmidt, who has researched more than 1,000 stories of ordinary people from business, science, politics and sports who have achieved outstanding success. Among these people are a restaurant chef who overcame a fatal illness and eventually earned 3 Michelin stars; runners who overcome incredible distances and overcome themselves; a retired ambulance medic who opened a successful company; figure skater Joannie Rochette, who competed at the Olympics three days after her mother's heart attack and was able to win a medal; Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first female cosmonaut in history at the age of 26; and many others. All these people had several common features, which the author and his team identified. The stories from this book will not leave you indifferent and will inspire you to new achievements at work, in sports and in any other spheres of life.
