Synopsis
After a thirty-year career working with some of the world's wealthiest people and most successful entrepreneurs, Marco Greenberg discovered the common denominator in each person's success: they were all acting on what Greenberg defines as our 'primitive' instincts. While the term may be fraught -- associated with being crude and unsophisticated -- in Primitive, Greenberg outlines this characteristic as something much more profound. It's the drive that leads us to obsess over our mission. It's the instinct that lets us ignore conventions and think up new solutions to old problems. It's the force of passion and dedication that could lead to innovation, if only we know how to harness it. By ROAMING as primitives do -- and being Relentless-Oppositional-Agnostic-Messianic- Insecure-Nuts-Gallant -- Primitive teaches anyone how to unleash each trait to maximize results in work and in life.

Most people are disengaged with their work and feel uninspired, underappreciated and underpaid. The situation could hardly be clearer: in the wake of a catastrophic global health crisis and amid societal upheaval and economic uncertainty, we can longer afford to play by the conventional rulebook to get ahead in our professional lives. What's the secret to this kind of success in today's world? Ironically, it's honoring our ancient instincts and intuition. It's about sensing danger and pouncing on opportunity -- as our ancestors did tens of thousands of years ago, or in the manner of playful kids full of curiosity and can-do spirit. Primitive is very different from the familiar, cookie-cutter business book. Marco Greenberg, a close advisor to visionary founders of tech unicorns and the heads of some of the nation's largest organizations, demonstrates how a range of successful people--those he calls "primitives"--ignore what they "should" do and instead tap a primal drive to power ahead. The good news is that anyone looking to inspire others has a way to apply the primitive mindset, from new college grads to mid-career professionals, from HR directors to CEOs. The key is to go ROAMING βΆ: be Relentless in pursuing our biggest goals; have the courage to reject group-think and be Oppositional; choose an Agnostic approach rather than overly specialize; adopt a Messianic spirit, so your work becomes not just a job but a true calling; embrace the advantages of being Insecure rather than feign bravado; reap the benefits of sometimes acting a little Nuts; and finally, to realize that being Gallant in following one's passions delivers the ultimate rewards. Primitive captures the keys to breakout success and professional satisfaction. Seller Inventory # 201957
