From understanding core motivation to gaining self-awareness, setting goals to taking smart risks, identifying one’s competitive advantage to developing inner confidence, and appreciating the importance of the process to being accountable, 8 Ways to Great demonstrates how these principles direct the decisions of top performers and how you, too, can integrate them into your daily life.

Practical, hard-hitting, and illustrated with compelling stories from the elite in the world of high finance and professional sports, Dr. Doug Hirschhorn’s book shows you how to unlock your potential for greatness.
