12 Essential Abilities of Extraordinary People: Book review

To stand out in an ocean of people, to be that notable point in a milling crowd - is ultimately what every aspiring human being wants in life. But no one is born great, extraordinary people became what they are because they wanted it to be so.

‘12 Essential Abilities of Extraordinary People’ by Virender Kapoor guides through the traits required, the 'dos' and 'do nots' that would put you in the league of the greats. The book is divided into three parts and the first phase helps you identify your own strengths and begins by listing out the various qualities possessed by people of each star sign.

Once, you take stock of the qualities, the book tells you how to put these traits to good use in your field of work. And the final part elaborates on how to adapt to changing times and improve yourself by refining your views of the new world.

Success doesn’t come knocking on your door by just changing your dressing style or perfecting your accent or even by mastering the art of punctuality. If you want to be great, the effort you put in cannot be no less. The book makes you ponder about yourself, and identify and refine those life-altering traits.

The book strives to stand out from the countless self-help books adorning the shelves and is an easy-read. Each point is well explained and the author has taken an effort to break down important information into points by carefully labeling them under relevant subheads.

If you want to be the master, regardless of your current position or your field, this book is for you. Acting as that mentor you never had, the book explains and guides you through each of those traits that make people great.
