Synopsis

Being audacious and adventurous can be inspiring, yet many of us hesitate to follow this path because of our concerns for comfort and security. In this bold book, Carter and Kourdi examine a radical new approach to being successful. The authors argue that success comes most easily to those who accept, and harness, the beneficial effects of risk. Communicating simple but powerful ideas with passion, this book guides individuals and organizations through the techniques that will help them to become more vigorous, motivated, effective and ultimately successful. Including original interviews and insights from people that have used audacity to get where they are, Road to Audacity shows why current approaches to life and work are increasingly outmoded. This book is vital reading for anyone who wants to make a success of their career, and their life.
