Book Reviews of True Success: A New Philosophy of Excellence

Book Review: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars

Tom Morris has accomplished something remarkable in this book. He has made the thinking of the history's greatest minds much more accessable for the everday person (like me). Instead of surrounding philisophy with elitist airs, he focuses on how important it is to apply the great thinking of the past to our everyday lives.

Morris begins by debunking the popular myth of success. By weaving the thoughts of Socrates and others cleanly into the text he shows quite convincingly that becoming our best selves is the surest path to lasting success. He view is also quite practical - he recognizes that the measure of your life is in what you do, not just what you think. Also, he understands that money is very necessary part of life; it's just not a satisfying goal in and of itself.

Morris' 7Cs framework is a useful guide to pursuing success. As he points out the path to success isn't always easy. The 7Cs framework is a useful map, especially when you have to navigate the rough spots.

Summary of True Success: A New Philosophy of Excellence

Using the wisdom of great thinkers of the past and examples from his own life, Notre Dame philosophy professor Tom Morris illustrates the power of imagination and commitment and urges readers to strive for personal excellence instead of competitive excellence in today's business world.
