F. Scott Fitzgerald observed that the rich “are different from you and me.” So how are the ultrasuccessful able to make the momentous decisions on which they build their fortunes? The self-confidence of Wall Street bankers and captains of industry is well documented, but how they achieve that assurance is less known.
