Throughout the ages, many people have written and spoken about success and excellence. In this book, contemporary philosopher and global business speaker Tom Morris has culled the best advice from history’s great thinkers and gone even deeper in his own analysis to develop a simple, universal framework of seven conditions for satisfying achievement in any challenge, the now famous set of ideas he calls “The 7 Cs of Success,” concepts that have helped countless people and businesses world-wide to new success in times of change. He writes here about the art of cultivating and using each of them well. This Silver Anniversary Edition contains great new material, insights, and perspectives based on twenty-five years of using these ideas, watching them work, and digging down into their core. The resulting wisdom can be used with stunning results in any domain of life. Praise for the First Edition: “As with those of all great philosophers, Tom’s words of wisdom are timeless.
