Summary: why not a best seller?
Review: i try to read 50 - 100 books a year and when i read something exceptional, i want to make note of it. I thought True Success was a brilliant book - well organized, well written, fun and substantive. It is a road map for personal happiness and fulfillment. Frankly, I was surprised that I had not heard of this book before. I just grabbed it one day off a book shelf. In my view, had this book been well promoted by the publisher, it could have been a big best seller - it has all the right elements. Buy and read this book as quickly as you can.

Summary: Philosophy of life and success made easy
Review: This is one of the best books I've read so far this year. Mr. Morris successfully turns reading what is usually quite a dull subject into an enjoyable experience. I'm very encouraged to read his other books. At the end of the day one might agree or disagree with some of the ideas presented in the book. However, Mr. should be given all the credit for his abnormal analytical skills and strong ability in combining philosophy, humor and life experience in one book.

Summary: A WONDERFUL BOOK
Review: Tom Morris has accomplished something remarkable in this book. He has made the thinking of the history's greatest minds much more accessable for the everday person (like me). Instead of surrounding philisophy with elitist airs, he focuses on how important it is to apply the great thinking of the past to our everyday lives. Morris begins by debunking the popular myth of success. By weaving the thoughts of Socrates and others cleanly into the text he shows quite convincingly that becoming our best selves is the surest path to lasting success. He view is also quite practical - he recognizes that the measure of your life is in what you do, not just what you think. Also, he understands that money is very necessary part of life; it's just not a satisfying goal in and of itself. Morris' 7Cs framework is a useful guide to pursuing success. As he points out the path to success isn't always easy. The 7Cs framework is a useful map, especially when you have to navigate the rough spots.
