Product Description

Review

The problem with Nicholas Bate is he writes such good stuff that it's impossible to do justice to the thoughts that arise as a result of pondering what he writes. His recent book, How to Be Brilliant, is a little gem. It is little (literally) - A5 sized and 50 points across 34 pages - but it's also a gem (figuratively). It's the kind of book I want to dip into every day, to read a page and be reminded of the foundational concepts of doing great work - such as knowing what you're on about, going the extra 1%, looking after your health, taking breaks during the day to recharge, etc................................................It's a good read, a good reminder, a good cultivator of important ideas. If you don't aspire to being brilliant, don't read the book. But if you do ... do. --http://currents.michaelsampson.net/2011/06/the-problem-with-nicholas-bate.html

5.0 out of 5 stars Bate is Brilliant 6 May 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Nicholas Bate has done it again. If you have read Bate's web site, you'll know that he is the master of concision. He can take a concept and boil it down to its essence. The result is writing that sparkles with clarity and common sense.

So it is with How to be Brilliant. Bate's book captures fifty Brilliant traits which, if acted upon, are sure to make anyone happier, better performing and more brilliant than before.

We are building a company training program around these concepts and I am sending a copy of the book to my college-student son.

Thanks to Bate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A pocket guide to brilliance! 15 Jun 2011
I'm a big fan of Nicholas Bate. I first discovered him on a workshop several years ago and thought he was really engaging. So I was looking forward to this book, having read some of his previous work. It didn't disappoint. It's distilled wisdom - it's sharp, pragmatic and immediate. It's not based on years of studying, but years of experience. I loved it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise amd varied 25 May 2011
By Beth
Nicholas' book is concise and varied. Whether you want to dip in and out or read the book from cover to cover, it will provide you with thought (and action) provoking substance. Extracts from this book adorn our office walls for all to see and I often catch people studying his words of wisdom. I thoroughly enjoyed the format of this book with it's illustrations interspersed with the fifty recommendations on 'How to be Brilliant'.
