Beschreibung

Discover the secrets behind history's greatest achievers. What do Ben Franklin, Marie Curie, Shackleton, Susan B. Anthony, the Wright Brothers, and the Apollo astronauts have in common? They dared the impossible-and changed the world. In How the Heck Did They Do That? The 11 Traits of Epic Achievement, award-winning authors Brad Borkan and David Hirzel (When Your Life Depends on It) uncover the powerful mindset, resilience, and vision that unite history's boldest innovators and explorers. Packed with inspiring stories, timeless lessons, and practical insights, this book reveals how you can apply the same traits to achieve extraordinary success. Praise for other books by Borkan and Hirzel: "Their books are shot through with what is rapidly becoming the authors' trademark - high octane excitement in learning lessons from great people." Stephen Scott-Fawcett, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. "The stories-and the settings-are gripping, exhilarating and inspiring. But this book is also about something much larger-the deep, true, higher nature of all human beings." Lily O'Brien
