Fearless |
BY Matt Cook |
|
The practical, no-nonsense style of this leadership book is designed to engage high-school readers. How can young people create projects of their own? Can teenagers really start their own enterprises, mobilize teams, and lead? Young people are full of ideas. Many don't know how to implement them, or face psychological age barriers. More than just how-to, Fearless describes the skills necessary to achieve success. Key lessons include:
- Overcoming the age barrier - Understanding the moral foundations of leadership: honesty and integrity - Dynamic public speaking and salesmanship - The logic behind clear, simple communication - Marketing stories to the media
Fearless features unique stories of young achievers, including the youngest American to climb Mount Everest (as well as the tallest summits of each continent), the leader of the most successful student-led political campaign in history, the World Teen Magician of 2007, the 2005 IT Youth of the Year, a young author and investment expert, and other entrepreneurs age 20 and under.
In the process of writing the book, Matt had the opportunity to interview leadership giants in the worlds of business, sports, arts and entertainment, politics, and education. Among them are billionaire entrepreneurs and CEOs; the President of the World Trade Center; an Olympic champion; politicians from the White House, Congress, and the Pentagon; a U.S. Naval Commander who captained submarines during the Cold War; the award-winning float designer for the Pasadena Rose Parade and Disney's Parade of Dreams--and many others. Here they share their stories and success secrets. |

“Entertaining, enlightening, and exceptionally useful! Matthew Cook's list of accomplishments would be impressive for a man well past retirement age. To have achieved this much and still be in his teens is nothing short of incredible. The truly astounding thing is that he's just getting warmed up. Clearly, the best is yet to come. Want to learn the secrets to Matt's success? Read Fearless. Want to know how he talked his way into an instant on-camera interview with a CNN news correspondent? It's in the book. Want to know why the author was honored with the Presidential Call to Service Award, or how he got invited to the White House twice before he was 18? It's in here. Learn the 81% Rule and the Power of John. Find out how a twelve-year old boy started his own successful dolphin research fund, and why he was named Conservationist of the Year. It's all in the book.

“Great book, excellent advice! As someone who has met Matt and seen his leadership at Stanford University, there is no one better to learn from about the subject. Matt is an excellent businessman and leader, and you will be surprised by the wisdom learned and shared by Matt at such a young age. The book is a great read for people of all ages, and you definitely want to buy this book!" |
