Author Description

What does it take to succeed in today's competitive world? Is it luck? Talent? Why do some people emerge as successful while others - who seem to work just as hard - never make it? Are special skills required? This book is based upon 50 interviews with men and women - eg, Chris Bonington, Mark McCormack, Terence Conran, Malcolm Forbes, Hans Eysenck - who have been outstandingly successful in a variety of fields. With his usual perceptiveness, Edward de Bono analyses their different paths to success, revealing that underneath their different styles and their greatly different personal qualities are a few characteristics which are common to all successful people. De Bono provides the lessons for anyone seeking success in their lives.
