Book Description

December 15, 1998
Use the power of principles to transform your life.

In his repeated bids for Olympic gold, Henry Marsh learned that the highest degree of reward and satisfaction is to be found in the unswerving pursuit of personal excellence. The Breakthrough Factor is Marsh's comprehensive plan to achieve a life of value by determining what principles or values to live by and thus find the fulfillment and reward we all desire.

Here, Marsh provides a plan for clarifying dreams, rooting out negative influences, setting priorities, establishing plans of action, and meeting goals. He shows how to ensure incredible results in all spheres of life -- in relationships, financial circumstances, career decisions, physical health -- by making choices and arranging priorities around a fruitful set of values and beliefs.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Dr. Denis Waitley author of The Psychology of Winning I enthusiastically recommend Henry Marsh's sage advice to anyone who seeks to dramatically improve his or her behavior, health, and attitudes.

Bud Greenspan filmmaker and author of 100 Greatest Moments in Olympic History The Breakthrough Factor will give readers new insight into the meaning of victory: that it is, very often, an exceptionally personal and private experience.

Robert Berenson President, Grey Advertising The Breakthrough Factor is easy to read, insightful, and wonderfully instructive. His premise is simple, but powerfully effective: We must work hard to cultivate values that will yield the greatest amount of personal satisfaction, fulfillment, and joy.

Jim Easton CEO and Chairman, Jas. D. Easton, Inc. Henry Marsh has clearly demonstrated in his life and this book that one's long-term values play a powerful role in success and personal accomplishment.

This review is from: The Breakthrough Factor: Creating Success and Happiness Through a Life of Value (Paperback)
I've had the opportunity to hear Henry Marsh speak and was very impressed. He is dynamnic, funny and his topics are relevant and important.

His book is just as good, maybe even better. I just loved the personal stories and how much he overcame to accomplish the things that matter to him.

This book has truly helped me be a better person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Should be a Classic, May 3, 2007
By 
Gravelle Pyle (Texas High Plains) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Breakthrough Factor: Creating Success and Happiness Through a Life of Value (Paperback)
I read an earlier edition of this book years ago. It taught me how to recognize the stumbling blocks that litter my life and to logically develop my own plans to get over, around or through them successfully. I have applied the principles explained in the book many times over the years and they work every time. The book is easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to apply. If you read it and apply it, you will be glad you did. (When I say easy to apply, I mean easy to apply the logical methods taught in the book. Some of the changes that the logic led me to understand that I wanted to make have taken time effort to achieve.)
