For generations, we've been stuck with a cookie-cutter mold for success that requires us to be the same as everyone else, only better. This "standard formula" works for some people but leaves most of us feeling disengaged and frustrated. As much as we might dislike the standard formula, it seems like there's no other practical path to financial security and a fulfilling life. But what if there is? In the Dark Horse Project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, bestselling author and acclaimed thought leader Todd Rose and neuroscientist Ogi Ogas studied women and men who achieved impressive success even though nobody saw them coming. Dark horses blaze their own trail to a life of happiness and prosperity. Yet what is so remarkable is that hidden inside their seemingly one-of-a-kind journeys are practical principles for achieving success that work for anyone, no matter who you are or what you hope to achieve. This mold-breaking approach doesn't depend on you SAT scores, who you know, or how much money you have. The secret is a mindset that can be expressed in plain English: Harness your individuality in the pursuit of fulfillment to achieve excellence. In Dark Horse, Rose and Ogas show how the four elements of the dark horse mindset empower you to consistently make the right choices that fit your unique interests, abilities, and circumstances and will guide you to a life of passion, purpose, and achievement.

"A misunderstood, eighteenth century poet, a twentieth century homeless girl, weird maths, imaginary dragons and a hidden Paris - it all comes together in this remarkable book about how we create lasting fulfillment and flourish." --Dee Reinert, Editor Have you ever felt that life goes on, circumstances and people change, good things show up, and yet something is still missing? The Portuguese have a word for that; they call it saudade. Saudade describes a feeling of melancholy or nostalgia for something that hasn't even happened yet. It's the strange sensation that something is lacking in your life but you're not sure what the elusive, missing piece is. You're just not quite fulfilled. As a teenager, Dana Hutton ran away from home to escape the oppression of fundamentalist religion and a toxic, sometimes abusive home life. Passing through a period of homelessness, poverty, and violence drove her within herself and set her at odds with the world. When she experienced a moment of unexpected transcendent awareness at the tender age of eighteen, her perception of life and Self was permanently altered by something that she didn't yet understand or know how to fully integrate. The choices of her youth set her on a path that led her across the Atlantic and around the world on a quest for truth, Self, and the key to human fulfillment. She found that key and now shares her journey and insights with others in this unique book. This book explores the Art of Becoming: our inherent ability to awaken and transform, and our need, both individually and collectively, to find a deep, abiding sense of fulfillment in the world. Fulfillment and flourishing are part of the Great Work. If you feel that fulfillment is lacking in your life, or if you're still looking for meaning, purpose, and inner peace, this book is for you.
