What distinguishes the great from the truly exceptional?

After five years of writing The Profile, Polina Marinova Pompliano has studied thousands of successful and interesting people in the world and examined how they reason their way through problems, unleash their creativity, and perform under extreme pressure.

The highest-performers don't use tricks or hacks to achieve greatness. They use mental frameworks that fundamentally change the way they see the world. They’ve learned how to unlock their hidden genius in order to reach their full potential.

This book will help you do the same. After learning from the world’s most successful people featured inside, you will have a mental toolkit to help you tackle thorny problems, navigate relationships, and use creativity and resilience in times of uncertainty.

Worth every cent (99c and no more!)

I paid 99c for this book. That’s as much as it’s worth.

Essentially it seems to be an attempt at gleaning nuggets of wisdom from other publications’ interviews with celebrities. Y’know the ones: self-aggrandizing, self-promotion interviews to promote products, and burnish images.

Maybe a few trickles of helpful ideas here and there I suppose.

So good!

This book is so well done.
She manages to tell a great informative & entertaining story without a lot of unnecessary words.
When I say entertaining, I don’t mean it reads like a work of fiction, but it is delivered in a way that holds your attention and makes you want to keep listening.
There are so many good takeaways that I will definitely be listening to this again in the near future.
Thank you Polina

Great book, you’ll likely replay chapters.

I’ll keep this one downloaded to jump back when seeking inspiration. It’s a great resource to remind you how highly successful people overcame their obstacles when pursuing their goals and how you can apply yourself in pursuit of yours.

Highly recommended!

Won’t read a book with higher insights per page

Insightful and well organized. Highly recommend to all who want to learn from successful and get actionable tips to be better

content is good, narration is not

i think the author did a great job on the content and sourcing. she should have hired a narrator though, as her annunciation was often muddy and robotic. it sounded like someone reading an article. overall, good ideas and the author should be proud of her work.

feel good, smart ideas

really enjoyed the rethinking of things we all experience. approachable to all levels of success, entry and beyond.

Cool stories, I enjoyed it!

Some insights in to good decision making but would have liked deeper dives in to what makes geniuses geniuses. It was okay tho, not bad.

Super helpful to any and all

You’ll enjoy this. Great ways to be reminded of your greatest gifts and inner genius.

Refreshing combination of ideas

In the world of success guidebooks this was a refreshingly succinct overview that was packed with new, current examples, profiles, and unique ideas. Definitely a book I will return to regularly.

Lessons for Life

I wish this book was written years ago because I would've avoided mistakes that will haunt me for the rest of my life.
