Success built to last

Creating a life that matters

av Stewart Emery, Jerry Porras, Mark Thompson

Imagine discovering what successful people have in common, distilling it into a set of simple practices, and using them to transform your life and work. Authored by three legends in leadership and self-help - including "Built to Last" co-author, Jerry Porras - it challenges conventional wisdom at every step. "Success Built to Last" draws on face-to-face, unscripted conversations with hundreds of remarkable human beings from around the world. Meet billionaires, CEOs, presidents of nations, Nobel laureates and celebrities - the rich, the famous and the unknown. Meet unsung heroes who've achieved lasting impact without obvious power or charisma. Famous or not, most started out ordinary. Discover how successful people "harvest" their strengths and their weaknesses, their victories and their surprising failures. Discover how you can find meaning in your life and work just as they did and summon the courage to follow your passions. Above all, see how they've sustained success for decades and you can too.

Jerry Porras co-wrote the global bestseller Built to Last. He is Stanford Graduate School of Business Lane Professor of Organizational Behavior and Change, Emeritus. Stewart Emery has coached 12,000 people over 30 years. Recognized as one of the fathers the Human Potential Movement, his bestsellers include Actualizations: You Don't Have to Rehearse to Be Yourself and The Owner's Manual for Your Life. Mark Thompson captured the insightful stories that formed the foundation for Success Built to Last from hundreds of personal interviews with enduringly successful people. He is a veteran entrepreneur, executive coach and former executive producer of Schwab.com. Forbes Magazine listed him as one of America's top venture investors with the "Midas" touch.
