Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Former presidential candidate Bob Dole and songwriter/singer Roger McGuinn of the Byrds are only a couple of the admirable figures featured in Dan G. Tripps's The Heart of Success: Conversations with Notable Achievers, with a foreword by Walter Cronkite and an afterword by John Wooden. As a professor who teaches about achievement, Tripps illustrates the fundamental principles of discipline, perseverance and leadership through a discussion with legendary boxing referee Mills Lane (better known as the honorable Judge Mills Lane) and a moving description of Rebekka Armstrong's career shift from Playboy Playmate to AIDS activist. Although some "conversations" may read more like brief bios, the range and depth of these profiles should appeal to go-getters burning to unearth the secret of success. Illus. Agent, Roslyn Targ. (BainBridgeBooks [dist., Trans-Atlantic], $22.50 paper 304p ISBN 1-891696-12-2.
