How to Achieve Ambitious and Challenging Things




An inspiring and practical guide to achieving bold ambitions from a world-renowned expert

With a wealth of both professional experience as government advisor and from his own journey overcoming a rare skin cancer diagnosis, Michael Barber offers an accessible guide on how to set and achieve even the most challenging of goals. Drawing on historic visionaries and modern heroes - from Mary Fischer and Rosa Parks to Paula Radcliffe and Gareth Southgate - Barber presents a unique combination of personal anecdote, historical evidence and interviews from inspirational figures to unpack the route to success. With both frank honesty, and humour, Accomplishment is set to empower readers with a blueprint of how they, too, can achieve greatness.
