Product Description
The best-selling business leader offers a fresh and compelling path to success based on extensive research and candid interviews with some of the greatest winners of our time In James Citrin’s new pardigm-shifting book, he identifies the essential characteristics and disciplines that have led many of our outstanding athletes and other extraordinary performers to achieve equally signifi cant accomplishments in their respective business careers. Citrin uses dozens of compelling interviews with personalities as varied and impressive as Colin Powell, Tony Hawk, Billie Jean King, Magic Johnson, Mia Hamm, and Buzz Aldrin, to name a few, to illustrate a new personal achievement program called the Dynamic Path—a plan that any businessperson can put to immediate use. Citrin identifies three stages on this path to greatness:
• the Champion—combine the work ethic of Tiger Woods with self-confidence and mental toughness to reach the top
• the Great Leader—follow Bob Iger’s revitalization of Disney as one of our best brands • the Legacy—learn the ultimate lesson in good and lasting work from Lance Armstrong With inspiring anecdotes, real-world business examples, and his trademark penetrating insight into what it takes to get ahead, Citrin once again provides a clear and concise roadmap for personal excellence.

 Exceptional August 13, 2008
As a Learning & Development Consultant and the parent of an elite athlete I found this book extremely rewarding. The examples, including those of Colin Powell, Bono and Tony Hawk, assisted my understanding of James Critin's lessons. I will constantly refer to this book, particularly with my child who is striving for selection in a national team. I would recommned this to professionals and parents alike as the "Dynamic Path" is relavent to both.
Truely An Ispiration June 23, 2008
This book is a true inspiration from start to finish. It has inspired me to move past that 99 percent and give my full attention and potential to each activity that I pursue in the future. This book gives great inspirational stories for everyone to relate too and be inspired by.

I received this book for Christmas as a gift, as I am in the middle of a career change, and possibly a mid-life crisis;). James Citrin's book is an inspiring piece of work, and the lessons that can be learned about both work and life are extraordinary. I highly recommend it to anyone who is searching for their place in the world.
I also took notes as someone else mentioned. I've got Post-It notes all throughout the book. I couldn't put the book down either.
There is something in this book everyone! January 9, 2008
I just loved the breadth of folks James Citrin interviews for this book. From the get go, I felt that his message was not focused simply on how amazing these individuals are just for the sake of touting their already known greatness (though many of the folks he interviews are not household names)but that his message emanated from his heart, where he holds a belief that we are all shareholders in the paths of these individuals, and we too are destined for inspired living if we so choose.
I am currently devising a curriculum for a brand of girls schools called the Girls Athletic Leadership Schools and the fact that James Citrin so clearly understands and articulates the 'edge' that athletes hold tight in their core as full people, not just as competitive athletes, was such a perfect story line for me at this point in my work.
I couldn't put the book down - it is so readable, the author is in conversation with the reader, not speaking down to the reader or sermonizing, and I appreciated that approach as opposed to an achievement guru attitude. I read through the book at a furious pace curious to see where we landed at the end. I spent a number of hours in the bathroom, the one room in our house where both my husband and 18 month old daughter give me my space. At one point while stashed away in the bathroom, I had forgotten my orange marking pen so in order to optimize my stolen time to get through the book, I opted to stay in the bathroom and use my eyebrow pencil to mark instead of risking being found by my family and having to put the book down for later.
Whether you are looking for the "secrets" of success, or get motivated by hearing about others' success, or you are looking for a way to define your own inspired life, this book will help you find your way...
