This is the second part of "8 Attributes of Great Achievers", hence the book concentrates on attributes 9 to 16. (Which can be sometimes a bit confusing, as far as the numbers of chapters go.)
Apart from looking at the important characteristics of a good leader, each chapter offers quotes and examples of those who made it and lived to enjoy the success of their inventions or ideas.
We learn of Christopher Columbus' never ending determination to sail west, even when his crew had a reached a point where they were prepared to kill him, and the ideas of the man behind Walmart.
There's the life of George Washington to inspire you and the man who "refined" television (as Farnsworth didn't invent it, but was the first to transmit an electric signal).
We learn of the importance of "Thank You Notes" and why it's a good idea to keep a gratitute journal.
Narrator:
Benjamin Fife is a very good narrator. His pleasant voice kept me hooked, which isn't generally the case for me as far as non-fiction books are concerned.
Overall:
I always treat non-fiction books with a certain kind of scepticism, there's just too much stuff out there which makes your skin crawl.
8 Attributes of Great Achievers was really a pleasant surprise.
Well structured and with interesting biographies throughout, the author offers good ideas and explaines why the certain attribute is so important in a plausible manner.
The narration is excellent and I really hope, there will be a third part, I for one am looking forward to it.
