An utterly compelling story of how the way we think shapes our success.Essential reading for anyone with aspirations. - Matthew Syed, author of Bounce and two-time Olympic athlete Will prove to be one of the most influential books ever about motivation. - Po Bronson, author of NurtureShock A good book is one whose advice you believe.
