DARK HORSE Achieving Success Through the Pursuit of Fulfillment

Roger Wayne's enthusiasm is palpable as he puts his broad phrasing palette to good use in narrating this stimulating audiobook. Using the term "dark horse" to refer to unexpected winners who prepare in unconventional ways for success, the authors say it can be misguided for some people to pursue career goals by following conventional formulas that were developed during the age of industrialization--and remain common today. Rigid organizations want people to "fill slots," so they force people into a "standardization covenant," a cultural mind-set that requires conformity and discourages people from seeking individual fulfillment. In contrast to that approach, the authors offer four mind-sets that dark horse winners adopt to understand their passions and find unconventional ways to achieve their destinies.
