À propos de cet audio
What distinguishes the great from the truly exceptional?
After five years of writing The Profile, Polina Marinova Pompliano has studied thousands of successful and interesting people in the world and examined how they reason their way through problems, unleash their creativity, and perform under extreme pressure.
The highest-performers don't use tricks or hacks to achieve greatness. They use mental frameworks that fundamentally change the way they see the world. They’ve learned how to unlock their hidden genius in order to reach their full potential.
This book will help you do the same. After learning from the world’s most successful people featured inside, you will have a mental toolkit to help you tackle thorny problems, navigate relationships, and use creativity and resilience in times of uncertainty.

A Young Person's View of Success....
I think Pompliano's book is fun. There is much in it synthesized from her reading, and her young life experience. I think for a younger audience this is a wonderful book. However, I am 68 years old and have an older person's view of this world.
I wonder that she did not include the important work of Nassim Nicholas Taleb,(which she obviously read, using the word anti-fragile, which he invented) or the work of Tversky and Kahneman, which would give some depth to reasons that people do not make good choices.
As I listened to the book, I enjoyed the structure and the clarity of her arguments. What troubled me though was that Pompliano does not seem to realize that all her suggestions might be used for great evil.
I have been reading over the years about some dreadful human beings: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, to name a few of the greatest killers in human history. As well as some notable medical criminals like Andrew Wakefield, Harold Shipman, Michael Swango, Richard Sackler, who apparently not only know some of Pompliano's means of success, but also swore the Hippocratic Oath, to zero effect. How to account for the "success" of such people?
Each of these men was driven to succeed and used many of the techniques that Pompliano discusses to destroy the hopes and lives of so many people. This has to be somewhat personal to Pompliano as she is originally from a Communist country.
There is an amorality at the heart of much modern capitalism. Hollywood, for instance, can make movie after movie of people murdering each other as the USA suffers dreadful gun violence: no link can be proven yet it can't be denied that Hollywood makes billions by showing gun violence that rips at American Civil Society. How moral is that? Now I am not a Puritan, or an Evangelist, nor even a Christian, Jew, or Muslim, but I do believe that there should be some discussion of morality in a book about success. Sure, people who produce the work of Hollywood are some of the most successful people ever: rich, high status, respected. But why? Have they no qualms portraying violence for cash and success?
I am talking about an active morality, like the woman Pompliano discusses, who finally, after more than a decade, left the sex cult she was part of. I think this woman's life should have led to a larger discussion of the absolute evil of some forms of success. And this might even have morphed into a discussion of when to recognize when you either have to leave, or fight, dreadful leaders.
In a country, the USA, currently blighted by millions of voters for Donald Trump, who clearly have zero moral awareness, or a sense of the importance of democratic norms, Pompliano might morph herself from Rah! Rah! support for personal success to doing profiles of those in society who succeed but who cause, literally, the deaths of millions.
Now there's an older person's view of a younger person's discussion about how to be a "success." May you never face such a curse! Better to be poor and unknown, if that means being happy, kind, and somewhat moral.
