To symbolize the power of the go the extra mile message, Shawn Anderson pedaled a bicycle from ocean to ocean - solo. Along the way, he interviewed over two hundred inspirational Americans who had demonstrated a remarkable ability to overcome personal setback and accomplish something extraordinary. A blind woman who climbed one of the world's tallest mountains, a triathlete who was born a congenital amputee, a 95-year-old who has been volunteering at the same hospital for 49 years, a corporate executive who gives away 82% of his company's profits - these are a few of the inspirational profiles highlighted in Extra Mile America. The stories in this book have the power to inspire your spirit, challenge you to reevaluate your own life setbacks, and motivate you to take a deep breath of courage in order to get back on your own metaphorical bike with a renewed passion and purpose.

Look around your business. Are your people committed to your goals? Or are they merely complying with them? Imagine how much further you could go if everyone knew where they were going and actually wanted to get there ... It’s just common sense that the more committed people are to their work, the more they’re going to put in and the more your business will get out. The evidence bears this out: engagement levels predict profitability. But how do you make sure people are on board? The Extra Mile shows you how to achieve that extra competitive edge by harnessing the commitment of your people, and engaging them with your aims. The Extra Mile is the result of four years of research into engagement by a joint team from Cass Business School and Towers Perrin. This ambitious and wide ranging project drew on the results of various studies and surveys which together totalled 33 million respondents. These hard-hitting statistics were supplemented by more than 50 in-depth interviews with executives and leaders drawn from a variety of business sectors. You will hear from some of them in their own words in this compelling book which distils the results of the research and the interviews into a compelling and engaging read that will make managers think again about how to get their teams to go that all-important extra mile.

Napoleon Hill put great emphasis in his writings and lectures on the principle of going the extra mile. Hill said this was the one principle that would get a person ahead faster than anything else one could do. In this speech, Going the Extra Mile, Hill explains that nature’s law of increasing returns means that the service we render with the right mental attitude not only brings back its true value, but is multiplied many times over.
