it was ok

Unfortunately, I really didn't like this book. Seyd tries realy hard to write a story abuot success, but it ends up being somewhere between Malcolm Gladwell and Steven Pinker - success is a combination of hard work and being fortunate with the middle ground between good nature and nurture. It's hard for me not to be biased because I've read so many of these stories that they feel like they are only rehashing the ideas of others.

I don't think success is easy, but in my own life and from the stories of others, I find success to be an attitude and a mindset. Yes, success takes work and yes, success requires a convergence of opportunity, but I really don't like it when people try to give universal advice on success. It is always either general/vague or too narrow and specific. I think there are so many other works on the subject better than this book here.

Page I would love to see your list of suggested works that are better. (I'm not being sarcastic—a genuine request.)
