> This isn't really the mentality and behavior of successful people

Thinking you know what traits do and don't make someone 'successful', or that everyone shares your definition of 'success', is probably also not the mentality of successful people.

Whatever. The actions of Todorov as reported in the article solidly back up the GP's point.

If you think the traits of successful people are unknowable and do not share common themes, then you have not done much reading on the subject.

Why would I want to read books about people that fall under your definition of 'success'? Do I have to read about and fetishize war profiteering too? Just follow the money, right? Jobs over Wozniak? Zuckerburg over Borlaug?
