“Less than One Percent: How Disruptors Defy the Odds” by Dr. Imamu Tomlinson is released with Forbes Books.
NEW YORK (January 21, 2025) — Less than One Percent: How Disruptors Defy the Odds by Dr. Imamu Tomlinson is now published with Forbes Books, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes. This pioneering book is available today on Amazon.
In Less than One Percent, Dr. Tomlinson presents an experience that blends his personal story with lessons from sports legends and data-driven analysis. With heartfelt anecdotes and strategic insights, he reveals how conventional wisdom often overlooks greatness and provides readers with tools to break barriers and achieve the extraordinary.
In making its case, Less than One Percent highlights the incredible journeys of figures like Steph Curry, who rose from being the 256th-ranked high school basketball prospect to one of the greatest NBA players ever. Dr. Tomlinson also recounts how he overcame career doubts to lead a multibillion-dollar healthcare organization. His wisdom creates a roadmap for leaders, educators, coaches, and professionals aiming to disrupt conventional standards en route to greatness.
“Steph Curry’s story should make us pause. It should make us realize that we trust our predictive instincts far too much,” Dr. Tomlinson asserted. “Steph’s poor prospect prediction was just a prediction. Predictions, by definition, are bound to be periodically incorrect. Our faulty predictions misread the 256th-ranked high school basketball prospect, and that’s one thing. But the nagging question that follows is something worse. How many other Steph Currys have we missed?”
A compelling exploration of how untapped potential can thrive when boundaries are pushed, Less than One Percent is essential reading for breaking free from the assumptions that limit our personal and professional lives.
