Exceptional
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, you’d learn with every clip how to repeat past successes, pinpoint your blind spots and build confidence.
In Exceptional, London Business School professor and expert social scientist Daniel Cable reveals how building your own personal highlight reel — a collection of positive memories about you from your network — is key to accessing your potential. Cable has worked with tens of thousands of people to create their highlight reels and make the most of their gifts. Using the latest science and proven research behind best-self activation, his three-step process will help you improve your life by teaching you to:
• Focus on what you do best
• Craft a life around your strengths
• Increase your confidence and resilience
By living up to your full potential you can strengthen the relationships you value most and transform your mindset to one of possibility. Every one of us has a version of ourselves that is uniquely outstanding. It’s a version of ourselves that already exists — all we have to do is access it.

BOOK
Alive at Work
The Neuroscience of Helping Your People Love What They Do
An alarming majority of the workforce is disengaged and unmotivated. They are not helping their organizations with much-needed creativity and innovation.
In Alive at Work, I show that the reason for all the unhappiness at work is biological: organizations, in an effort to routinize work and establish clear-cut performance metrics, are suppressing what neuroscientists call our ‘seeking systems’. Organizations are shutting off the part of our brain that craves exploration and learning. The good news is that leaders can activate employees’ seeking systems, and it doesn’t take huge financial investments to do so. With small changes, leaders can make a meaningful impact on our lives and restore our zest for work.
Filled with real-life examples from around the world paired with evidence-based claims, Alive at Work equips managers – and anyone looking to find more joy in their nine-to-five existence – with the guidance to ignite the curiosity and passion that lives within each of us.
