Publisher Description
What does it take to be the best? To become an exceptional?
The exceptionals are the few individuals who have achieved an unparalleled mastery in their field. They are the 1% of the 1%.
They have reached seemingly unreachable heights. They may be athletes or entertainers who are household names, or they may be people who have invented life-saving drugs or won a Nobel Prize by making fundamental advances in knowledge. Or they may have changed the world through science or music or business by influencing millions or perhaps billions of lives.
They are the people who have succeeded in being able to draw out the best talents they have within themselves and have maximized the physical, mental, and social potential available to them.
The Exceptionals is their story, and it provides you with the blueprint to advance yourself from good to great—and from outstanding to elite.
Customer Reviews
Poorly written with amazing concepts
I enjoyed reading the many theories set forth by Dr. Kumar and the principals outlined by his devotion to his research of those he considers to be an exceptional. However, I must state that it was not only poorly written but also riddled with various idolisations of celebrities like Justin Bieber, Will Smith, etc. as he used a poor measurements being fame as an example of their success. Although the scholars, C-level executives, Nobel laureates mentioned throughout the novel helped to solidify the concepts as some are truly exceptional within their own right. I highly recommend this book if you are looking for an easy read to spark motivation within oneself or in others.
