Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
Human beings only ever use a fraction of the potential power of their personal intelligence and spirit – 10% or probably much less. That means there is at least another 90% of unused capacity that, if tapped into, could be harnessed to achieve much more. Thus, the key to achieving more is not simply to do more of the same but to find new and creative ways to exploit that other 90%.
The four key principles involved in accessing that normally hidden potential are:
“For centuries, it has been assumed that there are limits to human capacity. Now, a host of scientific discoveries prove this wrong, yet the mind-set of limits persists – blocking us from our greatest possibilities and leaving us feeling bombarded by stress, change and uncertainty. No matter how hard we work, no matter how much we give away, we’re still not getting what we hoped for. There is another way. The next frontier is not only in front of you, it is inside you. You have a vast hidden potential and a destiny beckoning to be lived. So do we all. No one else can live it in your place.”
– Robert Cooper
“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
– Nelson Mandela

Supporting Ideas
Be original and do the spectacular
The greatest learning moments in human history have occurred when people have made a conscious decision to live life differently, on their own terms, rather than follow the herd and do what everyone else is doing. On an individual level, the same principle applies. To achieve more than average, you’ll need an independent spirit and a willingness to stand out from the crowd.
A productive life is the end result of a succession of small and specific daily choices. There is a world of difference between imagining what a fulfilling life would be like, and actually living it. The human brain’s instincts make us feel comfortable with routine, and unless your intellect overrides this bias, you’ll end up repeating the past again and again.
To overcome your natural resistance to change, ask yourself:
“What is the most exceptional thing I have accomplished this week?”“What is the most exceptional thing I plan on accomplishing next week?”If you get into the habit of scheduling a weekly meeting with yourself where you can reflect on the answers to these questions, you’ll avoid the tendency of getting into a comfortable routine which fails to challenge you to grow. It will also help you acknowledge the helping hand you receive from others on a personal level each week.
“Deep within humans dwell those slumbering powers; powers that would astonish them, that they never dreamed of possessing; forces that would revolutionize their lives if aroused and put into action.”
– Orison Marden
