12 Essential Abilities of Extraordinary People

by Virender Kapoor

Extraordinary people aren't just born fully formed. They don't just emerge out of slogans and rhetoric. They work towards making a positive, palpable change. These people are what they are because they wanted to be what they are.This book isn't about changing the way you dress or learning to master punctuality – it's about serious life altering traits which dig deep into your DNA to turn you around as a person. These traits – which Gandhi, Lincoln, Helen Keller, Tendulkar, Tata or Eisenhower had – are viewed as god's gift. Just because we're not born with them, it doesn't mean we can't learn to become that way. If you want to become an effective person, regardless of where you stand in life's continuum – a college student, a working professional, an entrepreneur or a CEO- this book is for you. It will be you mentor; explaining, demonstrating and guiding you through each of this trait which make great people. If you want to work on yourself – go for it.

[Pía López Copetti · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s a good read, though I would have preferred the writer to stick to the topics instead of adding so much India-related stuff or astrology.
