ABOUT THIS BOOK

Is success all about winning the rat race?
Only those who break free of the rut make an indelible mark. They lead an unconventional life and conquer their struggles amidst immense constraints. Their willingness to challenge and change the status quo differentiates them from the rest. They approach problems differently and hence their success journeys are worth emulating.
Not a Rat Race: Success Mantras of World Athletes breaks down the journey of twenty-two athletes from various sports who rose to eminence despite hurdles. It focuses on some transferable skills and tips which can be applied at work, in business and in various aspects of personal life. It also decodes the success mantras of these athletes and their approach to the game and several challenges of life.
