Using groundbreaking studies in diverse scientific fields, Bronson and Merryman demonstrate that understanding how to harness our competitive fire means we can perform our best - whether the contest is sporting, academic or in the workplace.
Why are men typically prepared to gamble on long or even stupid odds and women aren't?
Why do some less talented students consistently outperform their smarter class mates in crucial exams?

'A great read for those paralyzed by the fear of failure as well as thosewho hunger for success'
