The meaning of this wonderfully evocative and rich word, that has no exact translation in English, is elusive. More easily demonstrated than defined, chutzpah envisions possibilities that no one else yet believes are viable, a willingness to demand what is due, to defy tradition, to challenge authority, and to raise eyebrows.

Detailed Description


All the inspiring stories in this book feature people who went the extra mile: people who employed, harnessed, leveraged, embraced, utilised, exploited, adopted and displayed their chutzpah. You can do the same!

The heroes and heroines of these chutzpah stories all believed in the art of the impossible. They all chose unconventional routes to achieve their goals. Some of the chutzpah case studies in this book feature household-names like movie-maker Steven Spielberg, cartoon creator Walt Disney, rent-a-car maverick Warren Avis, and bagless vacuum cleaner inventor James Dyson. Others include Michael O'Leary, boss of Ryanair; serial entrepreneur Liavan Mallinn; internet start-up Grainne Harte - and even Yanky Fachler himself!

An ideal gift for someone you would like to see succeed - or just for yourself!

What they're saying about Yanky's CHUTZPAH book:


Most people don't succeed because they don't have the guts to take action. They need chutzpah. They can get inspired to be courageous in the new book Chutzpah: Unlocking the Maverick Mindset for Success by Yanky Fachler, a subscriber in Ireland.
I didn't think this book would be very good but it's actually fantastic.
DR. JOE VITALE, PRESIDENT, HYPNOTIC MARKETING, INC.,
AUTHOR OF THE #1 BEST-SELLER "THE ATTRACTOR FACTOR."

Your Chutzpah book is awesome!
DAVID FREY, MARKETING BEST PRACTICES, USA

While this is ostensibly a business book, with business case studies throughout, it could also be read as just an inspiration fun book that has lessons for everybody.
Fachler himself has more than a sprinkling of chutzpah.
The Irish business world would be a lot more fun if there was a little more chutzpah in it.
It certainly will be, the more people read Fachler's books.
CLAIRE TAAFFE, BUSINESS & FINANCE

Yanky Fachler is right on target with his book Chutzpah! The really successful people I know all have Chutzpah and are proud of it! I believe my personal success comes from having the guts, the nerve, and the no fear attitude which allows me to live fully, freely and without fear. It is great to finally have a book that teaches this secret of success! Everyone must get the Chutzpah to grab this book now!
TERRI LEVINE, CEO, COMPREHENSIVE COACHING U, INC, USA

This amusing anecdotal book comprises almost 100 case studies of those who went the extra mile to feather their own nests or advance a cause. Chutzpah is certainly a quality worth exploiting.
COLETTE SHERIDAN, IRISH EXAMINER

I really really enjoyed reading Chutzpah. I learned from it and was also entertained by it. Well done.
JIM FITZSIMONS, MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT, IRELAND

Where did Yanky find so many amazing chutzpah stories? Every time I thought I had read the best chutzpah story, Yanky topped it with an even better story. We all had chutzpah as children, but schools have dampened it. Yanky shows how we can recapture our chutzpah as adults. According to Yanky, who has chutzpah by the bucket-full, anyone can and should use their chutzpah. Absolutely everyone will enjoy this book.

Yanky's Chutzpah book is guaranteed to cheer you up, enthuse you, inspire, and make determined to persevere in chasing your goals.

Congratulations. It's a great read, I'm really enjoying it.

Yanky's refreshing approach to Chutzpah will stimulate you into taking immediate action.

Thank you for a great read and for filling me with that all important nutrient - encouragement. I'm delighted to know that I can find inspiration and example from another like-minded soul. Thank you again for your rockin' Chutzpah.
LAURA KELLY, DIRECTOR, SIMPLY MARKETING

What an inspirational book! This book gives a much needed morale booster by showing that many successful business people come from humble beginnings. Chutzpah helps bridge the gap between 'What if?' and 'Why not?'
