THE TRIPLE PACKAGE: Why Groups Rise and Fall in America
11.980 CFAUnlock the secret to success and achieve your dreams with “The Triple Package”! This groundbreaking research reveals how some groups in America achieve astonishing business success, climb out of poverty, and earn doctorates at stunningly high rates. What’s their secret? It’s the rare and potent cultural constellation known as “The Triple Package.”
The Triple Package consists of a superiority complex, insecurity, and impulse control. These elements drive disproportionate group success and are open to anyone who wishes to achieve their goals. While America may have once been a Triple Package culture, it’s losing that edge. However, the American Dream is still very much alive, and some groups have a cultural edge that enables them to take advantage of opportunities far more than others.
Americans are taught that everyone is equal, but all of America’s most successful groups believe (even if they don’t say so aloud) that they’re exceptional, chosen, and superior in some way. Feeling good about oneself is key to success, but in all of America’s most successful groups, people tend to feel insecure, inadequate, and have to prove themselves. Finally, while America spreads a message of immediate gratification, living for the moment, all of America’s most successful groups cultivate heightened discipline and impulse control.
But be warned, the Triple Package has a dark underside too. Each of its elements carries distinctive pathologies that, when taken to an extreme, can have truly toxic effects. The authors conclude that the Triple Package is a ladder that should be climbed and then kicked away, drawing on its power but breaking free from its constraints.
If you’re ready to transform the way you think about success and achievement, then “The Triple Package” is the book for you. Provocative and profound, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to unlock the secret to success and achieve their dreams.
