Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Money isn't everything...
Don't fall victim of your own success. This book reveals the paradox of success, and how to avoid downfall.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Extremely Insightful!
This is a very good, perhaps great [?], book masquerading as a "how to succeed in business" tome.

The book should be read by any adult who wants to have a balanced ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must read for all leaders
I first read this book when it came out, at the time the O. J. Simpson story was just breaking. It was PERFECT timing - offering insights into how otherwise highly-successful people can have darker sides show up in their lives unless they periodically renew themselves and take stock - what might be called taking an "internal audit" of oneself. I've often thought the title for this book could have been "The Shadow Side of Success."

I highly recommend this book for anyone who's in a position of ... Read More
