Book Description

August 29, 2005
Have you ever wondered why some people can survive and prosper in the midst of adversity while everyone else around them crumbles?

Dan Castro conducted ten years of research into the lives of thousands of people throughout history who overcame extreme obstacles. He wanted to know if they were following any kind of pattern that could help explain their success. After ten years, Dan concluded that they are following a pattern, and that this pattern is both observable and exlpainable. In CRITICAL CHOICES THAT CHANGE LIVES, Dan put the best of the best stories side by side so others could see the same patterns he saw.

You will learn:

• The patterns that heroes have followed for thousands of years to turn tragedy into triumph.

• The three reasons why heroes thrive under pressure while others crack.

• What heroes choose to focus on in the heat of the battle.

• Why heroes choose their own beliefs even when the evidence looks grim.

• How heroes choose their own expectations when everyone else's expectations are low.

• The three critical choices that turn ordinary people into heroes.

"Make a critical choice. Read this book and change your life." — Robert G. Allen, New York Times bestselling author of Creating Wealth.

"This is an amazingly powerful book that can change your life from the moment you read it."—Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup Series.

"I love this book! It is brimming with uplifting stories and concrete, historical principles for turning tragedy into triumph."—Best-selling author Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is a Winner!, June 16, 2006
This review is from: Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy Into Triumph (Paperback)
I've read a number of self-help books, and this one really takes the cake. At a time when I was in need of inspiration, I'm so glad I found Dan Castro's book. It really uplifted me and helped me see my way through to renewed hope and inspiration. The way Dan interweaves his many examples and heart-felt, useful advice make the book easy to read and powerful. I had my highlighter handy, because there are so many great nuggets here that I wanted to remember. This is one of the top self-help books I've read, and I've read some of the big ones. This definitely ranks up there with the best. If you need some inspiration that will guide you to feel your inner strength and potential, purchase and read this book. I don't keep a lot of books around, but I think this one will be on my shelf to use as a reference in times when I need excellent advice and inspiration. A truly great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear and Captivating, December 23, 2005
By 
Steven List "Doc" (Austin, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Critical Choices That Change Lives: How Heroes Turn Tragedy Into Triumph (Paperback)
I've just finished reading this book, and I love it. Original work, clear thinking, well written. I want to share it with everyone I know, truly.

From a very personal perspective, this book manages to capture much of the essence of my philosophy of Blind Spots, while reminding me of many things that I use to guide my clients, friends, and family. And that I sometimes forget for myself.

Beautifully done, clearly written, and a delight to read.

The cover led me to expect that it was going to be something like a collection of stories with some morals/points. It's not that at all. Castro uses real life stories to make points exceptionally well. This exemplifies the quote from Bill Gove: "make a point, tell a story." ( http://www.todayschiropractic.com/archives/sep_oct_02/so2002_speakingup.html )

Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book!! To Become a Classic., March 29, 2011
This book has been reviewed positively by many awesome authors and professional people. (see cover/back of the book) I am humbled to add my words to this variety of reviewers. It is, in my first excursion through the book, a valuable contribution to the process of "thinking success". I have written a series of books - two of which are "I Am Already Successful" and "I Can Manage Life" for school-age youth (see [...]) This author appears to have successfully managed my lessons - and beyond. Dan Castro is showing how-to triumph over challenges by learning how our "heroes" have made critical choices. Excellent book - I highly recommend it! It will be a modern classic. Dennis Hooker
