As long as individuals follow their own unique calling and have the courage to act on their own initiative then the human race as a family, will continue to advance..
It is the realisation that \'the power of one\' can make a difference within the world.
In other eyes, religious figures such as Jesus provide the seminal example of an outsider who epitomised the maverick spirit.
Scientifically men such as Isaac Newton pushed the boundaries of human endeavour.
While our study is a contemporary one, we fully realise that the maverick spirit has been evident throughout history.
An individual can be right if they stand firm in the face of mass opposition.
No individual mind is inferior to any collection of minds.
The purpose of this book is to provide inspiration to the reader, and to explain that any person individual views and convictions are as important as the general consensus.
This is covered in our conclusion at the end of the book.
We discovered what could be the vital ingredient, the necessary ingredient for outstanding success.
On completion of the mini-biographies, we actually realised what the common factor was.
The idea is that the Essence of their success can be distilled from the diversity of their paths to find it.
We had to ask the question: \'Is there a common factor between these 12 diverse success stories ?\' We present a detailed analysis of each of the 12 lives in order to enable the reader to find any common character traits or common experiences shared between them that might have enabled them to succeed so spectacularly.
But we could not resist investigating a further possibility. \'A whole life without having to read a whole book.\' This was the concept.
The idea is that during a lunch break or when winding down, you can get an accurate snapshot of someone\'s entire life.
Rather than reading an exhaustive 300 page book and becoming an expert on Bill Gates\' life, for example, the reader can discover the essential character, motivation and philosophy of the individual in just a few hours.
