Review

"Straightforward and powerful, the seven keys of The High Achievers Guide to Happiness are life affirming. Leadership students in our masters and doctoral programs find them to be a highlight of their work at the University. I recommend the book to all who wish to balance high achievement with a sense of personal accomplishment." (Robert C. Paull, Professor and Former Associate Dean 2005-06-13)

"...a great reference to get people thinking about themselves and their professional happiness. A school leader can use this information with teachers, students, parent groups, and community groups."

"The authors got me thinking about my own life purpose, for whom I am living, and my vision. I found the strategies useful and positive!" (Gail Houghton, Chair/Associate Professor 2005-03-15)

"The High Achiever's Guide to Happiness is a very practical book that provides both a strategic framework to understand why high achievers do what they do as well as plenty of real life examples on how to achieve the right work/life balance in your own life. I found this to be a refreshing reminder of what's really important in my own life as well as what I need to do to keep it all in perspective.  Highly recommended reading." (Kip Knight, Vice President, Marketing 2005-08-19)

"Relevant quotes, personal examples, and exercises for engaging the reader. If educators apply the information to their own lives, they can achieve greater satisfaction and happiness in their work and serve as better role models for their students."
