An innovative, groundbreaking book that will captivate readers of Malcolm Gladwell, Daniel Pink, The Power of Habit, and Quiet For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck.

This book that has blown my mind, in terms of articulating why focusing on giving and creating value for otherwise (alongside yourself) can make you wildly more successful.

For me, it clarified a lot of the benefits of the approach I feel we’re taking with Clear Star - a focus on helping others, building networks, teams rather than individuals, creating communities - that always felt “right”, but without an articulation of why (from a business perspective)

But it’s also forced me to consider and challenge the way I think and act, and has given me a new perspective on why my brain might work the way it does.

Needless to say I cannot recommend this highly enough - another one I’m afraid that I’m going to recommend that everyone reads.
