Using profiles of highly successful personalities such as Andrew Watson, Artistic Director of Cirque du Soleil, bestselling author Po Bronson, and Olympic gold medallist, Elena Berezhnaya, Rubin illustrates her unique concept of managed ambition and explains the difference between desire and skill, the importance of mentors and team members, and how to bounce back from failure.

It's a philosophical, intelligent, entertaining and ultimately practical roadmap for those intent on harnessing their inner drive to create unprecedented success.
