This review is from: Make a Life, Not Just a Living: 10 Timeless Life Skills to Maximize Your Real Net Worth (Paperback)

Dr. Jenson focuses on evaluating our most popular definitions of success, as they fall into one of five categories: power, position, prestige, or prosperity. He points out that the pages of history are filled with the stories of people who had one, or perhaps even all of these things, yet their lives lacked real and lasting fulfillment.

This is not just another challenge to put family relationships above career-climbing, rather, it is a book which tries to help you articulate and pursue a definition of success that takes into account the whole person - a definition of success which will allow you to lead a balanced, fulfilled, and significant life rooted in real and lasting values.
