About this listen

A Three-Step Process to Access and Activate Your Full Potential

Imagine switching on the television to see a highlight reel of the best moments from your life. Like a professional athlete, with every clip you'd learn how to repeat past successes, pinpoint positive blind spots, and build confidence in your skills.

In Exceptional, London Business School professor and expert social scientist Daniel M. Cable reveals how building your own personal highlight reel - a collection of positive memories about yourself from your network - is key to accessing your potential. Using the latest science and proven research behind best-self activation, his three-step process will help you improve your life by:

  • Focusing on what you do best
  • Crafting a life around your strengths
  • Increasing your confidence and resilience

Cable has worked with tens of thousands of people to create their highlight reels and make the most of their gifts. The three-step process ultimately reveals how living up to your full potential can improve the relationships you value most and transform your mindset to one of possibility.

Each of us can bring forth a version of ourself that is uniquely outstanding. It's a version of ourself that already exists - all we have to do is access it.

Critic reviews

"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." -ADAM GRANT, New York Times bestselling author of Originals, Give and Take, and host of the chart-topping TED podcast WorkLife

"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." -CAROL S. DWECK, PHD, author of Mindset

"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."-HERMINIA IBARRA, bestselling author of Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader

Impostor NOT imposture

The more Daniel mispronounced it the more grating it was. Otherwise a fantastic book and when one completes the exercises very reinforcing. Thanks
