Description

A wide-ranging experiment to test to the methods, mantras, and habits of Asia's legends, and icons A sound mind, body, and soul is a balanced state we all aspire to have. In this book, award-winning serial entrepreneur John Aguilar interviews 20 of Asia's top entrepreneurs, athletes, and icons in his podcast of the same name to learn valuable insights-and test some of them out for himself. What John learns is that these greats are no different from the rest of us. They, too, come from all walks of life. They have bad ideas. They doubt themselves and are insecure. They fail time and time again. Somehow, against the odds, they all found their voice and paths to greatness. Methods to Greatness offers a rare glimpse into the mindset, habits, and methods that have helped these individuals find success in their professional or personal lives. Through interview excerpts and John's personal reflections, we get to know how they turned their lives around, created a positive impact in their communities, or made a name for themselves in their respective fields-all while navigating the trials and tribulations of life. In a time of tumult when the world is looking to Asia to usher in the future, we look at lessons from the past and present to help us find greatness, whatever that means for each of us-and this guidebook of wisdom is here to help any and every one do just that.
