Expect to see a lot of quotes, common habits and recommendations, new tips and life lessons from 'Titans' featured in this book. This book is much more than a compilation of quotes and life lessons. It is a toolkit for changing your life, and most of all, be successful. Everything in the book has been explored and applied by the author himself, in some fashion. As the author says, "They work when you need them most."

Some tools are obvious at first glance, while others are subtle and will really ring through your senses.

At the end of the book, the valuable nuggets and words of wisdom you learned from the Titans should motivate you to take action, increase your productivity, change your perceptions about life and success.

What not to expect from this book?

Don't expect it to solve all your problems. Yes, it is meant to inspire but don't expect that everything that worked for other people will also work for you. If you think a certain tool, which worked for a Titan is not fitting for you, feel free to skip to the next Titan featured here. Don't forget that it is completely different for every person. This is why the book is NOT presented in a linear way. It allows you to read what catches your attention and skip the ones that do not apply to your situation.

Don't expect a quick fix for your problem. This book may not change your life overnight. Remember that Rome wasn't built in a day. Like any other self-help book, it is only going to help if you're willing to put in the work.

Who would benefit from this book?

Honestly, this book applies to everyone. There is so much gold and nuggets here that everyone can take advantage of. This book is not meant only for the businessmen, investors, athletes, professionals and other high-profilers. This is generally created to benefit even the most common people in the world - if one is willing to take action and apply whatever tools will work for oneself.

If you're interested in learning past and new strategies used by some of the world's most successful people, then this is the right book for you.
