While everyone else burns out trying to be the smartest or hardest working person in the room, the most successful men have discovered a counterintuitive truth that transforms everything—from the quiet developer who got promoted over his midnight-oil-burning colleague to the baseball legend who became great by stopping what everyone else was doing.
