      Was haben Bono, der Dalai Lama, Jimmy Carter und der Unternehmer Sir Richard Branson gemeinsam? Jeder von ihnen hat es geschafft, auf seine eigene Weise dauerhaft erfolgreich zu sein. Aber was macht deren Erfolg aus? Das Autoren-Trio Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery und Mark Thompson gibt anhand von anschaulichen Beispielen Antworten auf die Frage, warum erfolgreiche Menschen erfolgreich bleiben, basierend auf Interviews mit mehr als 200 Menschen aus allen Teilen der Welt, die auf ihrem Gebiet, in ihrem Beruf oder in ihrem Bereich herausragend sind oder waren und die wussten, dass ihr Leben eine Bedeutung hat. In mo-natelanger Kleinarbeit wurden dann Parallelen in deren aller Leben gesucht und die Ergebnisse genau unter die Lupe genommen. Was diese Menschen letztendlich inspiriert und antreibt, gegen alle Widerstände anzukämpfen und an ihrem Glauben festzuhalten ist ihre Leidenschaft.

Denn der Schlüssel für dauerhaften Erfolg liegt definitiv darin, das zu tun, was man liebt und bei dem man mit Leidenschaft bei der Sache ist.
