Above All Else

by Chris Widener

The Single Most Important Lesson for Achieving, Sustaining, and Enjoying Success

This absorbing sequel to Chris Widener and Jim Rohn's best-seller Twelve Pillars takes the story to the next level and teaches what you need to maintain success.

Thirty years have passed since that fateful day Michael Jones' car rolled to a stop in front of a mysterious mansion. Little did Michael know his life would be changed by the old maintenance man who teaches him the Twelve Pillars of Success-principles that governed the life of the mansion's owner. Now, after a lifetime of applying those twelve pillars, Michael has achieved success beyond his wildest dreams, becoming one of America's most famous and wealthy businessmen. Beyond the twelve pillars there was one other lesson he learned along the way, though-the most important lesson. It was the one that should come "Above All Else".

Take an afternoon and journey into the relationship between a grandfather and his grandson as the old man teaches the young boy the wisdom of the ages as set out by Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest man to ever walk the face of the earth. A quick read, an enjoyable story, and one filled with profound insights to help you achieve, sustain, and enjoy your own success.

Great message, but the writing style was a little elementary. The ending letter from the grandfather to his grandson is worth the read. I think it only took about 90 minutes to read cover to cover, 65 ish pages.
