Creator of The Technology of Success “What makes some people more successful and satisfied than others? Are they using skills the rest of us aren’t?” As a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, Collins proposed studying healthy, contributing members of society instead of ill ones, and her colleagues all laughed.
