THIS BOOK IS A SUMMARY TO THE ORIGINAL BOOK
If you have experienced professional success in the early part of your career, and your job involved new ideas or solving hard problems--most people reading this book, I would bet--you have fluid intelligence (plus your hard work, maybe your parents, and good luck) to thank for it. Consider the sheer number of hours spent at work: according to the Harvard Business Review, the average American CEO works 62.5 hours per week, versus 44 hours by the average worker.[3] That rings true to me: I doubt I ever worked less than a sixty-hour week in the entire decade that I was a chief executive.
But the goal can't be satisfied; the success addict is never "successful enough." The high only lasts a day or two, and then it's on to the next success hit.
His destiny is to die of bitterness or to search for more success in other careers and to go on living from success to success until he falls dead.
