The Habit of Winning: Stories to Inspire, Motivate and Unleash the Winner within

About the Book: The Habit of Winning

The Habit of Winning is a collection of short motivational stories of people and things that seem to be random but uplifting. By the end of this self-help book, the reader will be surprised at how well they all come together. The stories of Sachin, Sidhhu and Karloy Takacs are truly inspiring.

Using examples from great success stories like Sachin Tendulkar, Charlie Plumb, Mahatma Gandhi and Randy Pauch, author Prakash Iyer explores the nature of winning and the ideas that define a winner. In the book he goes on to explain how these theories apply to our own lives and how we can also lead a winner's life if we have the right attitude. This self-help book identifies certain traits that make a winner be it hard work, perseverance or being a good team player. This book is a brilliant collection of stories that will surely renew the reader's sense of purpose in life and motivate them to be better. A supposed mix of random stories from the generosity of Mahatma Gandhi and the cola wars, to stories about roaches and rabbits, kites and balloons. As the author suggests, often the winning edge is not something learned in college, it is one that is learnt by living life daily and, eventually, this is what will help you find your inner winner.
