Al paso de los siglos, la humanidad ha levantado una barrera en torno a la idea de maestría. La ha llamado “genio” y la ha creído inaccesible. La ha visto como resultado de privilegios sociales, del talento innato de cada individuo o de la alineación correcta de las estrellas. Pero esa barrera es imaginaria. Nuestro cerebro es producto de seis millones de años de desarrollo, y gracias a él somos capaces de desatar el poder latente en nuestro interior.
Take the reins of your own destiny to accomplish extraordinary goals by analyzing the lives of such past masters as Charles Darwin, Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, and Leonard da Vinci. Through interviewing nine contemporary masters, including tech guru Paul Graham and animal rights advocate Temple Grandin, Greene debunks our culture's many myths about geniuses and distills the wisdom of the ages to reveal the secret to greatness. With this seminal text as a guide, readers will learn how to unlock their inner passion and become masters.
