Truly successful people share common character traits and values. In this manual, Grossman has compiled a set of rules and guidelines that have existed for years--the basic principles all successful people follow. Each chapter includes inspiring quotations from such brilliant thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Malcom Forbes, Plato, John D. Rockefeller, and countless more. These quotations enhance the sum and substance of the author's message. How to Succeed in Life was written in the author's attempt to give his children, Jennifer and Adam, a road map to happiness, success and to all the things in life they really want. Writing in simple, straightforward language, Grossman shares with the rest of us the simple rules, founded on principles set down through the ages, to true success.
