A life-altering guide packed with accounts from John’s personal endeavors, those of historical figures and influential acquaintances. This quintessential handbook exposes the x-factor, that extra something, which unleashes the potential in all of us. Ingredients of Outliers is a compilation of thoughts, tips and techniques that will guide you toward finding the ingredients in the “secret sauce” that makes an individual go from average to extraordinary and will inspire you to step outside your comfort zone to join the ranks of the outliers.
There is an abundance of humor and enlightenment in this 169-page non-fiction book. Each one of the 16-chapters in the book focuses on a different attribute that outliers demonstrate. The chapter topics include humility, failure, persistence, preparation, communication, imperturbability, tolerating risk, kindness, learning, optimism, perspective, indefatigability, efficiency, integrity, intuition and being one of a kind.
John writes about great outliers from the past, such as Ray Kroc, Dr. Seuss, Fred Astaire, Theodore Roosevelt, Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger and more. John also incorporates stories of the accomplishments of everyday people who stepped out of their comfort zones and broke the boundaries of the ordinary by demonstrating a specific characteristic of an outlier. As a serial student, an indefatigable change agent and a multidisciplinary entrepreneur, John has studied the traits and qualities of extraordinary individuals for over three decades.
