Excellence is a collection of essays complied in 1985 from noted individuals, all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. All are good but my favorite is the essay written by Elizabeth Haglund.

[Jeslyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fabulous collection of essays on many different aspects of excellence, including optimizing relationships, defending the need for a depth and breadth in education, the importance of ethics accompanying the attainment of knowledge and success, etc. Some essays were particularly outstanding, including the "bookends" of T. H. Bell and Reba Keele, but all were worth the read. I only wish the book was still widely available - and I'd rate it 4.7 if I could.
