The Dynamic Path: Access the Secrets of Champions to Achieve Greatness Through Mental Toughness, Inspired Leadership and Personal Transformation

By James M. Citrin

Book Overview

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 paradigm-shifting book, he identifies the essential characteristics and disciplines that have led many of our outstanding athletes and other extraordinary performers to achieve equally significant 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.

Customer Reviews

Excellent book

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.

Inspiring...

This book was refreashing in the material covered for inspiring action on a path toward creating a personal legacy.

The book I have read all year!

Love this book. I started reading this book and I slowly started taking notes then I started to type up the notes then I cut them out and pasted them to my monitor. Great book can't go wrong with this one.

Jim Citrin has done it again!

Jim is an absolute champion when it comes to pattern recognition. From his analysis of extraordianry careers, leaders taking charge, and lessons from the top, he recognizes the steps that champions in all walks of life take in achieving greatness. If you aspire to be a champion, take the first step and get this book...it's awesome!

The Dynamic Path

Citrin uses dozens of interviews with varied and impressive personalities to talk about three basic stages on the path to greatness: becoming a champion, being a great leader and leaving a legacy. Citrin has a great writing style that makes the book hard to put down. One other book I highly recommend is Understanding: Train of Thought.
