Success Built to Last
15 Nov 06

Jerry Porras’s previous book, Built to Last (co-authored with Jim Collins) uncovered the successful habits of visionary companies. Now he’s back, with a new writing team, to reveal the personal practices and shared behaviours of visionary individuals.

Imagine meeting more than 200 people who’ve made a profound difference with their lives. Imagine discovering what they’ve got in common, distilling it into a set of simple practices, and using these insights to transform your own life. You’ve just imagined Success Built to Last.

Success Built to Last is the culmination of the world’s most thorough research project on lifelong success. The authors have met, interviewed, quizzed and delved into the success of hundreds of the world’s most remarkable people.

All these interviewees have made a difference, large or small, to their field, profession or community. They were drawn from the vast spectrum of humanity from Nobel Laureates, rock stars and Olympians to quieter heroes such as teachers, charity workers and business people. What links them together is their passion for living a life that they believe mattered.

Famous or not, they all started out ordinary. This book reveals what they have in common, how they became successful and how they have sustained their success. It shows how they used their strengths and weaknesses, victories and surprising failures to accomplish extraordinary things.

No matter how you define success, this book will help you achieve it, keep it, share it … and gain the sense of satisfaction that comes only from a life well lived.
