The Heart of Success: Conversations With Notable Achievers - Softcover

Review from Publishers Weekly, November 27, 2000: "Former presidential candidate Bob Dole and songwriter/singer Roger McGuinn of the Byrds are only a couple of the admirable figures featured in Dan G. Tripps's THE HEART OF SUCCESS: CONVERSATIONS WITH NOTABLE ACHIEVERS, with a foreword by Walter Cronkite and an afterword by John Wooden. As a professor who teaches about achievement, Tripps illustrates the fundamental principles of discipline, perseverance and leadership through a discussion with legendary boxing referee Mills Lane (better known as the honorable Judge Mills Lane) and a moving description of Rebekka Armstrong's career shift from Playboy Playmate to AIDS activist. Although some "conversations" may read more like brief bios, the range and depth of these profiles should appeal to go-getters burning to unearth the secret of success."

Dr. Dan G. Tripps holds a Ph.D. from the University of Oregon with a concentration in the social and psychological aspects of performance. He is the former President of the 1984 Olympic Scientific Congress held in conjunction with the Los Angeles Olympic Games. He is the founder of the international organization Sport for Understanding and project manager for The Raven, a world record attempt in human-powered flight. Dr. Tripps resides in the Seattle area and is a faculty member at Seattle Pacific University.
