The Third Door

The Mindset of Success

Alex Banayan · 2018

At eighteen he hacked a TV game show to fund the quest: track down the world's most successful people and ask how they actually got their start.

At eighteen, Alex Banayan hacked a TV game show to fund an improbable quest: track down the world’s most successful people and ask how they got their start. The seven-year chase brought him to Bill Gates, Lady Gaga, Steven Spielberg, Maya Angelou and Warren Buffett, and produced the book’s central metaphor — that beside the main entrance and the VIP line there’s always a third door, the one nobody tells you about. Part adventure story, part career advice.
