    About this audiobook

    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.

      Good topic and different point of view in regards of the approach to success in life.
    • 5/5
      Wow! I am feeling so inspired and uplifted. The authors seamlessly blend history with lived experiences and a healthy dose of possibility. It's clear that the choices made in the past may have been right for the time, but we need to adapt - and offering choice and personalization is a promising way to live up to the ideals our country was founded on. The task they lay out for American society is a lofty one, but a worthy one. Full steam ahead to a democratic meritocracy, I say!
    • 5/5
      Just incredible. Few nonfiction books have affected me like this one has. It will be the book I most recommend and give to others.
