Is the ability to succeed in business hardwired into our DNA? Are entrepreneurs, like racing thoroughbreds, simply born to win? Startling and groundbreaking, INSTINCT is the first book to apply the tools and insights of human genome research to the concept of success. Authored by Thomas L. Harrison, a corporate CEO who began his career as a cell biologist, it argues convincingly that successful people, particularly successful entrepreneurs, tend to have certain identifiable talents encoded in their genes. Yes, there are "born entrepreneurs," and their lives and work are characterized by genetic traits and markers, from risk-taking and openness to conscientiousness and assertiveness, that predict their eventual triumphs. On The Author: Harrison is the author of Instinct: Tapping Your Entrepreneurial DNA to Achieve Your Business Goals, published by Warner Business Books. Harrison has appeared on CNBC, CNNI, Bloomberg, and Forbes.com discussing his book. He can be found on the Enterprise Leadership podcast as well as podcasts for Forbes, Bloomberg and, recently, the American Management Association, among others. Harrison also lectures at business schools and schools of entrepreneurialism on topics discussed in Instinct. - from Amzon
