Recommendation
In 1978, the legendary rock band The Who asked, "Who are You?" In this book, Marc Marsan asks the same question but adds the clause, "When Nobody’s Looking?" Unlike The Who, Marsan actually has an answer to the question he poses. You are, he says, the sum total of your genetics and environment plus your personal push. But Marsan is also smart enough not to get down into the gutter with the nature vs. nurture debate. He is really interested in how you move past your genetics and environment to chart a course that brings out your potential for genius. In this sense, he is asking everyone who reads his book to return to childhood, when they felt free to live, love and learn. But he doesn’t offer just platitudes; he recommends concrete steps to help you make this trip, like advising you to study your family history and examine your ancestors for traits and talents that could be hidden in you. getAbstract recommends this book to any person who needs a little shove toward self-actualization. Executives, managers, human resource professionals and students will find this book easy to read and immensely useful.
