I very much like this author's approach to personal effectiveness and this is the third of his books I've read - so I might be a little biased.  I must admit to wondering what the book was all about when I saw the title but am pleased to say it was a down-to-earth subject well covered - suitable for the "ordinary person" who "doesn't assume anything special" about themselves but should realize - by reading this book - that there is.I very much liked the introduction - the super heroes of our comic books and films are, actually, pretty ordinary types when they don't have their one super power available (Superman isn't all that smart, Iceman would be useless in the Tropics) and the heroes of our histories and myths screwed up quite severely on occasions - Samson was a sucker for a pretty face, for example (and look where that got him).  And our modern day heroes - Trump went bankrupt, Buffet would be no good as a real estate mogul all go to help the reader see themselves as a person with the same "ordinariness" as heroes and deep within themselves a super (or, at least, an exceptional) strength to bring out.  Reading this book gives one a new outlook on things.The thrust of the book - you do have a super power inside you - one you need to discover and apply in your business, career and personal life is a powerful message.The author's power is "Teacher" and has gone from salaried manager to internationally acclaimed consultant and coach.  There will be many people beginning their careers, wanting to change jobs, hoping to make use of their hobby, needing to become the best parent they can be, whatever it is, will find inspiration in these pages.
