An inspiring guide to working smarter, not harder with new, science-backed insights
In a hypercompetitive and increasingly automated world, our potential is our most valuable asset. It’s the key to unlocking our accomplishments, being present, and making an impact on the world. Yet, most people are falling short of their own idea of success.
Many high-functioning people—from doctors to investors to innovators and entrepreneurs—deep down believe that they could have accomplished more. This results in “achievement anxiety”—the feeling at nearly every stage of life that we have failed to meet our own expectations. This book is the antidote.
In EXPONENTIAL POTENTIAL, Michael Rubin, CEO of a multi-billion-dollar venture capital firm, reveals the secret recipe for accelerating success while increasing happiness, drawing on original research, experience mentoring thousands of young innovators, and interviews with accomplished people in business, science, sports, and entertainment. Success is not reserved for exceptional people with a high IQ or uncanny luck. Anyone can tap into their potential—and learn how to get a better return on their innate ability.
