Greatness: How The Great Become Great... and You & I Don't

Greatness is written for Anyone who is interested in the question of How The Great Become Great... and You & I Don't. This includes the general public, university students, and academics as well. How so? Simple. The Text of this book is written almost in story form, with barely a hint of academic research to be seen, so it can be easily read by anyone. As for the academic research, it is thoroughly discussed and easily accessible in the book's Notes, when and if you're interested. But you don't need to read a word of the Notes to understand the entire analysis, and in fact experience it coming to life for everyone from Einstein to Elvis, Mozart to Marilyn, or for that matter, Serena, Madonna, or Marie Curie. Anyone can also easily apply the book's analysis to their own development and success, or lack thereof. If you are a student / thinker / puzzler, in or out of high school, university, wherever, then go to my website and download a free PDF of the book ( http: //www.greatnessbd.com/ ). See If you start seriously thinking through how the analysis applies to your life, others' lives, the lives of your heroes, etc. If you do, and you find yourself having to rethink / reevaluate the hows & whys your successes and achievements, or the lack thereof, then it's probably time to buy the paperback. If you're an Academic, teaching any of a wide range of courses related to human development / creativity / achievement - eg in psychology, communications, or business - where the question of how individual behavior is influenced by interpersonal, organizational, institutional, even societal factors - you might want to consider Greatness as a free supplementary eBook for your students to use in project work relating to a topic of immense personal interest to all students, ie the How question. There are examples of such student work on my website, and students can simply download free PDFs from my website.
