Showing results by author "John Eliot"

John Eliot Gardiner grew up passing one of the only two authentic portraits of Bach every morning and evening on the stairs of his parents’ house, where it hung for safety during World War II. He has been studying and performing Bach ever since, and is now regarded as one of the composer's greatest living interpreters. The fruits of this lifetime's immersion are distilled in this remarkable book, grounded in the most recent Bach scholarship but moving far beyond it.

In The Maverick Mindset: The New Science of Exceptional Achievement, renowned elite performance consultant Dr. John Eliot reveals everything he has learned about how the truly exceptional achievers in this world have - and haven't - attained their exalted heights of accomplishment.

The Maverick Mindset will show you what they do, and how you can make their unconventional, contrarian habits and practices your own.
