The Art of a Successful Life: The Wisdom of The Ages from Confucius to Steve Jobs.

The German poet Theodor Fontane once wrote: "A good aphorism contains the wisdom of an entire book in one sentence." The Art of a Successful Life goes a step further, collating a myriad of quotes all of which offer insights to inspire you to think about yourself, your life and your goals, and to give you the confidence and strength to cope with difficult situations. In this book, you will find quotes from a range of thinkers: from the physicist Stephen Hawking to the artist Michelangelo, and from entrepreneurs such as Henry Ford, Steve Jobs and Warren Buffett to Confucius, Cicero, Schopenhauer and Goethe. In bringing them together, the author provides an original and practical guide to everyday life. This, alongside the 20-week success programme featured in the book, will provide you with the inspiration and strength to successfully navigate a variety of situations in all areas of your life.

The author had an easy job. I think it was not worth the money.
Pick universally applicable quotes, add a few standard sentences like "have an attitude" and end each chapter with tips on how to improve a certain area. The tips were sometimes quite valuable though, apart from the author referring to his own books.

Mir haben die Übungen gefallen, ansonsten war ich nicht begeistert. Es ist recht polarisierend geschrieben. Das missfällt mir persönlich. Ansonsten aber finde ich es interessant, dass sich der Autor auf wissenschaftlicher Ebene damit beschäftigt hat. Ich habe das Buch als Hörbuch in Audible angehört.

Zusammenfassung aller Bereiche um selbst mehr aus sich zu machen und über sein Verhalten nachzudenken und die extra Meile zu gehen.
Jedes Kapitel wird mit einem Zitat eingeleitet, welches den Beginn sehr interessant macht.
