Download Compete, Play, Win: Finding Your Best Competitive Self AudioBook Free
Informed from the viewpoint of the self-described competition junkie, Compete, Play, Get is a look at the psychology behind the competitive drive, a look at the sociological ramifications of acting on competitive impulses, and a publication of advice how to channel those impulses for personal gain in business, sport, and in life. In the chapter called "Sperm Wars", publisher David Apostolico pinpoints conception as the start of our competitive characteristics, and discusses the competition for a mate that precedes that, establishing the theory that competition is a natural necessity, and evolution has embraced and changed that drive. In the later chapter called "Competitive Country," Apostolico uses himself as a test subject matter, going into a far-flung variety of contests (including competitive eating contests, dog shows, and move races), in order to test how far he, as a competitive junkie, is happy to move for victory. By the end of each event, he answers a set of 10 questions, concluding with, "Can a competitive junkie ever before feel truly satisfied?" Along this personal journey, Apostolico pulls parallels between personal competition and competition in the business world, and imparts his firsthand understanding of how to use the competitive drive to win at everything you do.
