I looked forward each night when I could sit down to read… it is so uplifting. So hard to put down.
This book speaks to those of us who have always felt apart from the norm, and to those who want to be all they can be. Statistically Outliers are separate from the majority and author John Shufeldt MD winningly demonstrates qualities (with anecdotes) that will help each to rise above–and beyond– the ordinary pack. A quick read and useful to be kept for refresher re-reading
This motivational–and enjoyable– book has it all! From the practical (“your guts don’t lie”) to the inspirational (“become one of a kind”), and much more, Dr. John Shufeldt has written a guide that will strike a positive chord in everyone.
I found John Shufeldt’s viewpoint on success refreshing. Dr. Shufeldt does not toot his own horn despite all that he has accomplished. This book is a must read for people that need inspiration to pursue their dreams.
Amid the real life stories of adventure and misadventure are the secrets to a fulfilled life. John’s humor and warmth make this book so readable and fun that you forget you’re learning invaluable life lessons told by an author who’s achieved great success in his life.
