Andy Stanley describes how reading Arthur Brooks's From Strength to Strength confronted him with a story about a successful professional who admitted she would 'rather be special than happy.' Stanley says the insight broke through his defenses and forced him to acknowledge his own addiction to being special. He later interviewed Brooks, thanked him for that portion of the book, and built a reflective section of What Great Leaders Do around it.
