by Tom Murry
Greenleaf Book Group Press


"Most of us don’t have the patience or determination to go after our visions. We want things right now. We want things today. So we settle."

Tom Murry always knew the right fit for an occupation was out there; he just had to pursue it. Eventually, he would become the CEO of Calvin Klein and realize that it was right for him. After he retired, he decided he wanted to continue to help and mentor others. This book is his advice for those looking for leadership and inspiration in the realm of goal achievement.

The author discusses the necessary qualifications needed for someone to succeed in life and talks about how to go about acquiring the knowledge to be prepared for each opportunity. Like most self-help authors, Murry discusses work ethic and preparedness. However, he also takes the time to dig into kindness and personal relationships. The author focuses the reader on the human side of human resources and advises readers on becoming the type of person and employee that other companies seek for top positions.

Murry opens each chapter with a relevant quote and chooses to illustrate his points with personal examples. His sentences are quick to read and easy to understand. Readers looking for motivation in their business pursuits will find that the author has the experience and knowledge to back up his advice and is a trustworthy source. Anyone in the market for this genre of nonfiction will find Murry’s book helpful. A reader new to the business-oriented self-help genre, or one that would like a general overview of the common themes, will find the author’s inspiring book a "great fit," offering quality information and guidance.
