About this title

About the Author

From The Back Cover

"I read the first couple of pages and was hooked! Readers learn how making small life changes will help them make the most of university to accelerate their journey to success. Most importantly, Racing Towards Excellence teaches how to achieve the work-life balance resulting in excellence and happiness in all facets of life. This book should be mandatory reading for all students and graduates pre, during and post university."
-- Hermione Way, 23, entrepreneur and journalist, named as one of Spectator Business's Stars of Tomorrow

"Racing Towards Excellence provides a compelling, holistic framework for how to become an elite performer. As an ambitious student or recent graduate, you cannot afford to miss this book."
-- Kieran O'Neill, serial entrepreneur who sold his first company for $1.25 million aged 19

"Racing Towards Excellence makes essential reading for anyone stepping out into the big wide world. Specifically targeting students and recent graduates, the book sets out a path to outperformance and happiness, and discusses in depth the inextricable link between the two. My only lament is that this advice was not available many moons ago when I left university!"
-- Chris Howland, CEO and Senior Partner, Mount Row Capital, Previously Managing Director, Morgan Stanley

"I genuinely believe that it is required reading for anyone over 17 and I will ensure my children read this book when the time comes. I particularly enjoyed the range of skills covered. As a governor of an independent school I would be delighted to promote the book to the Sixth Form."
-- Chris Wightman, Chairman of Puricore Plc, Previously Managing Director, Nations Bank

"I wish I had read this book when I was 17, and again at 19 and again at 24! This is not just a book about outperforming in your career. It truly does tell you how to outperform in life, and following its advice will make you happier. Congratulations to Jan and Muzaffar on an outstanding book. Buy it for any young person whose future you care about."
