Lessons learned in classrooms or even through work experience are extremely important. That said, those learned outside the classroom or boardroom - the real-world essentials - are critical to success as well. In his new book, The 4 Essentials: A Path to Success and Happiness, successful entrepreneur Cliff Michaels brings to life what he calls a Real-World MBA, a Master's in Basic Abilities. In The 4 Essentials, Cliff Michaels takes readers on a journey of success, failure, and purpose with lessons to be gleaned from each. Michaels complements this journey with wisdom drawn from books, movies, childhood heroes, and virtual mentors from Leonardo daVinci and Thomas Edison to modern-day icons such as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, Bill Gates, and Blake Mycoskie. Passionately written and thought provoking, Michaels illustrates why success is not predicated solely on degrees, intelligence, or opportunity.
