5.0 out of 5 stars Human Potential at its Best, October 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Edge: The Guide to Fulfilling Dreams, Maximizing Success and Enjoying a Lifetime of Achievement (Hardcover)

The Edge motivated my son to be a state champion in wrestling in a competitive state. Reading the book as an 8th grader, he started to write quotes from the book on 3 by 5 cards and carried them wherever he would go and would read them often to keep himself focused on winning a title even though at times he barely would be good enough to make the team at times. The book taught him that hard work makes dreams come true and that persistance does pay off in the end. The lessons learned from this book have proven to be lifelong and after he did win the state title, he has shown consistently that the lessons were long lasting into his life after wrestling. The book is a must for young people of all ages. Thanks Howard for giving us this treasure.

If you coach, manage, or supervise anyone, this is a must have. Whether for work or play, this book is the "Bible" of motivation. I'm an area branch manager for the worlds largest employer. What else is there to say? Buy this book! Place your order now because finding copies of it is very hard. This is truely, bar none, the first book anyone who is responsible for mentoring someone should have.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST COLLECTION OF MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES AND STORIES., June 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Edge: The Guide to Fulfilling Dreams, Maximizing Success and Enjoying a Lifetime of Achievement (Hardcover)

THIS IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK IN MY LIBRARY. IT IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR COACHES AND PLAYERS OF ALL SPORTS. IT EXTENDS BEYOND THE PLAYING FIELD AND TALKS ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY THAT MAKE A CHAMPION. QUOTES THAT MAKE YOU THINK, STORIES THAT WILL TOUCH YOU. I HAVE READ THIS BOOK 5-6 TIMES AND I STILL FIND SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME I OPEN IT. THIS BOOK IS A TREASURE AND I HOPE YOU READ IT AND SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE.
