In this fantastic audiobook, read by the author, Jez Cartwright uncovers the many facets of The Exceptional Person. Written in an easy-to-understand style, and using analogies and exercises that you actually want to complete, this a must-have for anyone interested in unlocking the exceptional person within.
Using his background from working at the top levels of professional sport and business, Jez Cartwright takes a no-nonsense approach that is both wildly refreshing and universally applicable. The book encourages each of us to look at the reality of where we are in our lives, take responsibility for enhancing it, and then choose what to do once we've offloaded our baggage.
Regardless of whether you think of yourself as exceptional, The Handbook for Exceptional People is for anyone seeking to better themselves.

Hogwash. Utterly dreadful in every way.
29/01/2008
With a runtime of under two hours, this 'book' seems to be little more than a hasty collection of urban legend stories ('We are a lighthouse.'), supposedly inspiring anecdotes, and shameless quoting from 'The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People' et al, that you'd get from any hired-in day-rate ten-a-penny motivational trainer. A loose compilation of glib suggestions with very little value that I could discern. Perhaps this is my own fault - by the standards of the book, my failure to wholeheartedly buy into this hogwash indicates that I am 'afraid to change' - but perhaps more likely because this just strikes me as the same kind of by-the-numbers phoned-in collection of 'insights' that gets dispensed to conference rooms full of bank managers in the name of 'training' and 'motivation', and just as heavily reliant on requoting the works of Dale Carnegie and Stephen Covey as even the most amateur practitioner. It's not a problem, it's an opportunity? Aim for a win/win solution? What great ideas. Sure I've heard them all somewhere before, though. Tried hard to like it. Didn't. Sorry.
