You must have heard this before: “talent is overrated”.

We’ve all been told that to succeed in life and do so in a great way, all we need to do is to find what we are good at and do it. This is great advice but with one major problem; it is intimidating and makes many of us feel miserable in life because we feel there is just that one thing that we were meant for and if we miss it, we will live unhappy lives.

What if we don’t find that one thing that we can say we are passionate about and have a natural talent for? Does that mean that we are essentially doomed to a life of unhappiness?

Of course not; talent is not the magic pill to have massive success in life. Your talent (which I’d like to refer to as mechanics) can only take you so far in life. You need more than talent to actually get where you want in life. As you may already be aware, hard work trumps talent any day.

If you are in the category of people who feel that the world is somewhat unfair because you’ve never figured out what your talent is and are worried that you might live a mediocre life, fret not because this book will make you come to the realization that you don’t need talent as much as you might have thought. What you need to work on is your psychology because, as Tony Robbins likes putting it, success is 10 percent mechanics and 90 percent psychology.

Lucky for you, this book will open your eyes on how exactly you can get ahead in life without having to rely on a talent that might be fickle. More precisely, in this book, you will learn:

• Why talent is overrated i.e. why it is not as important as you may have been made to believe
• When hard work trumps talent and how to leverage that to get ahead in life
• How to master the ins and outs of goal setting and why it matters in succeeding even when you have no talent
