About this title

Synopsis

Obstacles and setbacks are an inevitable part of life, especially in today's harsh and volatile economy. How can you take the very experiences that could stall or tumble a career and use them to build uncommon success?

Business people like Pete Dawkins, Harvey Mackay, Doris Christopher, and Walter Scott Jr. know that the answer to this question lies in firsthand knowledge of "The Adversity Paradox": working to overcome humble beginnings, lack of knowledge, unexpected setbacks, or any manner of misfortune can be the foundational step in a path to incredible achievement.

While many motivational business books promise easy access to prosperity and power by way of secret insight, quick and easy steps, or "insider tips" that are dubious at best, this book tells it straight. It offers candid accounts from those who have been tested by adversity and illustrates how they have put their misfortunes to good use by gaining business savvy from them.

The paths to success are diverse, but The Adversity Paradox identifies patterns that anyone can study and learn from.
