Paul Arden’s Best-Seller: Success vs. Desire—Compared In It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want to Be, Paul Arden challenges us to reframe our approach to success. We find his message captivating—prioritizing ambition over mere talent fosters growth. By contrasting desire with skill, Arden reminds us that stagnation stems from complacency, not lack of ability. The book’s witty, accessible style makes complex ideas digestible; we appreciate its rebel-inspired call to push boundaries. While we agree with his premise, some readers might seek more actionable steps. Still, Arden’s philosophy inspires us to ask: Are we settling for mediocrity, or are we striving for excellence? For us, this question alone makes the book indispensable.
