Synopsis

Raise the bar to become the best version of you--and have fun doing it As a cognitive neuroscientist, anthropologist, and entrepreneur, Bob Deutsch has spent a lifetime studying people. What he has found is that most of us set the bar too low in our lives, both personally and professionally. We choose not to pursue our greatest ambitions because we feel we are incapable of reaching them. But he has also found that we are each born with the fundamental abilities to live the full, creative, dynamic life we dream about. These are our five inner resources: Curiosity, Openness, Sensuality, Paradox, and Self-Story. In this compelling book, Deutsch shows us how to access and use them to open our lives to unimagined possibilities. Filled with great stories and interviews with inspiring people, including Wynton Marsalis, Richard Feynman, and Anna Quindlen, "The 5 Essentials" will appeal to readers of "The Element" and "The Tools." It opens the door to a way of being more alive than you have ever been.

Curiosity, Openness, Sensuality, Paradox, and Self-Story these are our five inner resources. Through interviews with inspiring people, including Wynton Marsalis and Richard Feynman, and case studies of personalities like Bruce Springsteen and Anna Quindlen, Deutsch shows us how to access and use these resources to open our lives to unimagined possibilities.
