Can you succeed without being a terrible person? We often think
not: recognising that, as the old saying has it, 'nice guys finish
last'. But does that mean you have to go to the other extreme, and
be a bully or Machiavellian to get anything done? In THE ART OF
FAIRNESS, David Bodanis uses thrilling historical case studies to
show there's a better path, leading neatly in between. He reveals
how it was fairness, applied with skill, that led the Empire State
Building to be constructed in barely a year - and how the same
techniques brought a quiet English debutante to become an acclaimed
jungle guerrilla fighter. In ten vivid profiles - featuring pilots,
presidents, and even the producer of Game of Thrones - we see that
the path to greatness doesn't require crushing displays of power or
tyrannical ego. Simple fair decency can prevail. With surprising
insights from across history - including the downfall of the very
man who popularised the phrase 'nice guys finish last' - THE ART OF
FAIRNESS charts a refreshing and sustainable new approach to
cultivating integrity and influence.
