Be the Best Version of Yourself. How Ordinary People Become Extraordinary

This book will tell you about the true components of success. You will understand: it is not about hard work, but about who you are.
"Everything you knew about success is wrong. Set goals. Work hard. Be persistent. This recipe for... success you can repeat, even if you are awakened at night and asked. And it doesn't work - not for you, nor for anyone else."
You work all day, become very tired by evening, and do not get any closer to success. The fact is that success is determined not by what you do, but by who you are.
This conclusion was made by Dan Waldsmith, who studied more than 1000 stories of ordinary people from business, science, politics, and sports who achieved outstanding success. Among these individuals is a chef from a restaurant who overcame a deadly disease and eventually earned 3 Michelin stars; runners who cover incredible distances and surpass themselves; a paramedic who resigned and founded a successful company; figure skater Joannie Rochette, who competed in the Olympics just three days after her mother had a heart attack and managed to win a medal; Valentina Tereshkova, who became the first woman astronaut in history at the age of 26; and many others. All these people shared several common traits that the author and his team identified.
The stories in this book will not leave you indifferent and will inspire you for new achievements at work, in sports, and in any other areas of life.
