Publisher's Synopsis
Find your own success in 100 easy steps
What do successful people have in common? Scientists have studied the traits, beliefs and practices of successful people in all walks of life, but their research is normally reported in academic journals that are only read by other scientists. Now, the best–selling author of The 100 Simple Secrets of Happy People has collected the most up to date and important data from over a thousand studies on success and interpreted the key lessons in a way we can all understand.
Including stories such as the rise of an Olympic gold medallist from a gang–ridden and deprived background, cautionary tales such as the collapse of a family company from bad family management, and a schoolteacher’s simple advice that helped propel a student to success as a TV news reporter, The 100 Simple secrets of Successful People gives a wining combination for achieving success in all areas of your life.
