Sunday Times Book of the Year This is a book about what it feels
like to be exceptional - and what it takes to get there. Why can
some people achieve greatness when others can't, no matter how hard
they try? What are the secrets of long life and happiness? Just how
much potential does our species have? In this inspirational book,
New Scientist Managing Editor Rowan Hooper takes us on a tour of
the peaks of human achievement. We sit down with some of the
world's finest minds, from a Nobel-prize winning scientist to a
double Booker-prize winning author; we meet people whose power of
focus has been the difference between a world record and death; we
learn from international opera stars; we go back in time with
memory champions, and we explore the transcendent experience of
ultrarunners. We meet people who have rebounded from near-death,
those who have demonstrated exceptional bravery, and those who have
found happiness in the most unexpected ways. Drawing on interviews
with a wide range of superhumans as well as those who study them,
Hooper assesses the science of peak potential, reviewing the role
of genetics alongside the famed 10,000 hours of practice. For
anyone who ever felt that they might be able to do something
extraordinary in life, for those who simply want to succeed, and
for anyone interested in incredible human stories, Superhuman is a
must-read.
