Synopsis: In this book, the quest of avoiding humiliation a second time (THE X Factor), is discussed in a hilarious and informative fashion, leading from the locker room to the boardroom, with many strange stops in between. The author corners superstars like Bill Russell and Billie Jean King, famous coaches, the chairman of American Express, sports doctors, and mergers and acquisitions king Henry Kravis, and puts the same question to all of them: what is it that allows an individual, or a team, to outperform competitors who are no less gifted, mentally and physically? Their answers run the gamut from motivational rage to new-age meditation.

"Economic growth should not be a spectator sport. A nation cannot truly progress if it leaves 80% of its people behind, and a democratic nation should not want to. The growth policy of the 1980s served the interests of the wealthy wonderfully well. But only a trickle trickled down. What we need in the 1990s is a growth policy that works better for the majority--a policy that, in Lincoln's ringing phrase, is designed for the people.'"

Management & Leadership

How can a person be a responsible doctor and a responsible parent? How do doctors cope with the illnesses of their own children? Is there a solution to the competition for time? Where does the personal-professional boundary lie? In this book, Dr. Perri Klass explores a subject rarely touched on in the professional literature: the connections between medicine and parenthood. She observes that the roles can overlap in unexpected ways: "Will I ever forget what it was like watching my own daughter get fluoroscoped---watching her heart beat inside her ribs, and thinking with confusion of what I knew about systole and diastole." Dr. Klass tells of a terrified medical student unable to recall any of his pediatrics training during his wife's difficult labor. And she addresses the concerns of children who grow up knowing that at any moment the sound of a beeper may call a parent away.
