Graduate’s Motivational Book Wins New Apple E-Book Award for Excellence
The Excellence Habit, the best-selling motivational book written by Vlad Zachary MBA’99, has won the new Apple e-book award for Excellence in Independent Publishing.
The Excellence Habit
The Excellence Habit is a captivating read that offers an honest examination of universal principles for positive change. The book is a reminder that we are the owners of our success. There are no magic formulas, shortcuts, or secret sauce. The 7 rules, or 3 steps, or 12 laws that promise to change our life – they won’t help, unless we do the work.
The Excellence Habit also examines the distinction between success and excellence. More often than not success is measured in social influence, recognition and wealth. For those practicing it faithfully, Excellence is its own biggest reward!
As part of the discussion of the principles of excellence, the book includes a detailed interview with Babson President Kerry Healey. Among other things, President Healey points out that “The school has a very clear mission, and it is to educate entrepreneurial leaders who create economic and social value everywhere. In a world where entrepreneurship is becoming a major force for lifting people out of poverty and empowering people who have nothing but their own initiative, this is what Babson needs to do.”
Vlad Zachary’s The Excellence Habit is available for download on Amazon. Other formats include paperback, iTunes, GoogleBooks, Smashwords, Kobo, and an Audio-book available for download here
Multiple times the book reached #1 on Amazon, in the categories of Business & Money, Applied Psychology, and Leadership.
Other awards for the Babson author include Best Motivational Book of the Year, by Next Generation Independent Books, Eric Hoffer Award, and Readers’ Favorite.
