Dan Cable effectively breaks down the science behind who we think we are, and the habits needed to unlock our greatest strengths. Astute, inspiring, and impressively researched, Exceptional offers insights so clear and compelling you'll wonder why you hadn't identified and applied them earlier.

Exceptional is useful, uplifting, and a joy to read. Dan Cable shows why all that pressure to improve your weaknesses and become a mediocre imitation of other successful people is so misguided. He draws on rigorous research and experience with thousands of students and executives to show you how to excel by your own standards, and why taking that path is so much better for you and those who depend on you.

How many of us hold ourselves back from the life we truly want to live? Through remarkably engaging stories and compelling studies, Dan Cable's Exceptional gives us the opportunity to experience our worth, and the practical tools to act on what we do best, so we can live a life that is truly exceptional.

It's a classic question: How can we improve ourselves and take on fresh identities when new behaviors often do not feel natural? Exceptional shows how you can live a better life by 'stretching into your strengths,' practicing your way into new behaviors, and expanding your contributions.

Crafting our lives, and our work, around our strengths helps us get the most out of life, but unfortunately it's hard for many of us to know where to start. Dan Cable's book Exceptional makes it easy to tap into your raw potential.

Athletes achieve excellence by compiling and studying their personal highlight reels. There's no reason why the rest of us can't do the same thing. In this buoyant, evidence-backed book, Dan Cable shows us how.

With a pile of evidence and a plan of action, Dan Cable offers a new approach to improving your performance and deepening your purpose. Exceptional is a bold and practical book.

Cable's book vividly and helpfully shows how 'playing to your strengths' is not about coasting to success, but importantly involves using a growth mindset to fulfill your potential.

You Need a Personal Highlight Reel by Dan Cable: Over the years, through my academic research and consulting, I've developed a process for achieving personal growth through positive trauma called the Positive Method. Building on a well-established technique called Reflected Best-Self Exercise, my process is akin to listening to your friends, co-workers, and family eulogize you. No, this doesn't involve faking your own death. But the process will probably make you feel vulnerable, squeamish, and uncomfortable. The task involves reaching out to people who mean the most to you of times, sharing anecdotes of when they made an impact, and asking them to share memories of you being the best version of yourself. You end up with a personal highlight reel: a set of memories of you at your very best. Read more...
