For most of us, the better we perform a lot more attention we get. Yet for many "Invisibles"-skilled experts whose role is critical to whatever organization they're a part of-it's the contrary: The better they do their jobs a lot more they disappear. In fact, often it's only once something goes wrong that they are noticed by any means. An incredible number of these Invisibles are concealed in every industry. You might be one yourself. And despite our culture's increasing celebration of fame inside our era of superstar CEOs and assorted types of "genius"-they're fine with remaining anonymous. David Zweig needs us into the behind-the-scenes worlds that Invisibles inhabit. He interviews top experts in unusual fields to uncover the quiet workers behind public successes. Incorporating in-depth information with insights from mindset, sociology, and business, Zweig uncovers how these concealed professionals reap profound fulfillment by relishing the difficulties their work presents. Zweig bypasses diplomats and joins at the very top interpreter in a closed-door assembly at the U.N., where the media and people should never be allowed. He ascends China's tallest skyscraper while it's still under construction, minus the architect, led instead by the project's lead structural engineer. He even brings us on stage during a Radiohead concert, escorted not by an associate of the strap, but by their chief guitar technician.On the way, Zweig unveils that Invisibles have too much to teach the rest of contemporary society about satisfaction and accomplishment. What has been lost amid the noises of self-promotion today is the fact not everyone can, or should, or even needs to be in the spotlight. This inspiring and illuminating reserve shows that acceptance isn't all it's damaged up to be, and invisibility can be viewed as a mark of honor and a source of a truly abundant life.
