Tactics: The Art and Science of Success

The book Tactics: The Art and Science of Success is based on 50 interviews with men and women who have achieved extraordinary success in a range of disciplines, including Chris Bonington, Mark McCormack, Terence Conran, and Malcolm Forbes. Edward de Bono examines their various paths to success with his usual perceptiveness, revealing that beneath their various styles and vastly different personal qualities are a few characteristics that are shared by all successful people. De Bono teaches lessons to everybody who wants to be successful in life. It can be a helpful guide for people who want to apply tried-and-true methods to climb the success ladder.

The book is split into three sections. The first section delves into the styles and qualities of success, focusing on features such as ego, confidence, efficiency, energy, and the ability to deal with disappointments. Then there are the classic motivators for success, such as money, power, and terror, followed by a discussion of how much influence we have over our own achievement. Genes, background, luck, hard work, training, awareness, opportunity, and other factors all play a role. The second section, named "Prepare for Success," is centered on self-awareness and self-examination, which equip a person with motivation to succeed. "Make it a Success" is the title of the third and last section. It describes how to achieve success by being conscious of what you're thinking and doing, your strategy and tactical play, your decision-making, your chances, and your risks.

Tactics: The Art and Science of Success can assist in pushing a person to make greater use of his or her cognitive abilities. It has the potential to make him more tenacious, single-minded, and resolute in his pursuit of his goal.
