For generations, we've been stuck with a cookie-cutter mold for success
that requires us to be the same as everyone else, only better. This
"standard formula" works for some people but leaves most of us feeling
disengaged and frustrated. As much as we might dislike the standard
formula, it seems like there's no other practical path to financial
security and a fulfilling life. But what if there is?
In the Dark Horse Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education,
bestselling author and acclaimed thought leader Todd Rose and
neuroscientist Ogi Ogas studied women and men who achieved impressive
success even though nobody saw them coming. Dark horses blaze their own
trail to a life of happiness and prosperity. Yet what is so remarkable
is that hidden inside their seemingly one-of-a-kind journeys are
practical principles for achieving success that work for anyone, no
matter who you are or what you hope to achieve. This mold-breaking
approach doesn't depend on you SAT scores, who you know, or how much
money you have. The secret is a mindset that can be expressed in plain
English: Harness your individuality in the pursuit of fulfillment to
achieve excellence.
In Dark Horse, Rose and Ogas show how the four elements of the
dark horse mindset empower you to consistently make the right choices
that fit your unique interests, abilities, and circumstances and will
guide you to a life of passion, purpose, and achievement.
