What Anyone Can Do

Most of us dont seek advice or reach out to others for help very easily. In part, its because were conditioned to see life as an individual endeavor rather than a team sport. Or because we believe that asking for help makes us look weak or incapable. We regard self-help as by-yourself-help. News flash: no one in the history of the world has ever achieved any level of happiness or success totally by themselves. In his 1976 book The Long Run Solution, Joe Henderson suggested that becoming truly accomplished at running (or at anything) doesnt typically require us to perform superhuman feats. In fact, success is frequently realized by those who simply do the things anyone can do that most of us never will. In What Anyone Can Do, with the help of Leo Bottarys Year of the Peer podcasts guests (and playful illustrations by Ryan Foland), youll discover that if you surround yourself with the right people, youll do the things anyone can do far more often. And when you do that, you and the people around you will realize more of what you want out of business and life. Its that simple. The Power of Peers (2016) made a strong case for how and why formal peer groups are so effective. This book steps outside the formal peer group arena to examine all the important relationships we have in our lives (parents, teachers, spouses, mentors, children, mentees, etc.) and provides a practical approach and specific framework for harnessing their power for your benefit (and theirs). Its what anyone can do. Youre anyone, right?
