Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Some groups in America seem to outperform others. For example, Mormons are dominant players in America’s corporate boardrooms, investment firms, and business schools.

#2 The rise and fall of groups is the subject of this book. It explains that when three distinct forces come together in a group’s culture, they propel that group to disproportionate success. However, these same forces also carry deep pathologies.

#3 A Superiority Complex is a deeply internalized belief in your group’s specialness, exceptionality, or superiority. Insecurity is a form of discontent, an anxious uncertainty about your worth or place in society.

#4 The Triple Package is a combination of three things: a superiority complex, insecurity, and drive. It is the foundation of every Triple Package culture, and it tends to produce a goading chip on the shoulder, a need to prove oneself or be recognized.
