"We live in a world where the meaning of the word "rich" has been badly polluted.  What a breath of fresh air this book can bring to our lives; hard work and character count! It's a must read for anyone
who wants to be truly wealthy!"

Dave Blanchard
CEO, Og Mandino Group

Thomas Carlyle said "Great men taken up in any way are very profitable company, for we cannot so much as look upon a great man without gaining something from him." Lessons from Great Lives will introduce you to brilliant thinkers, powerful leaders, and colorful speakers, heroes of battle, skilled artisans, persevering scientists, and inspired prophets... It is as though each one of them has engraved in gold a statement for us to see saying, "This is the best of me. This is the greatest of what I saw, knew, believed, and did during my lifetime. If anything of mine is worth your memorizing and remembering, this is it."

"What a treasure! A book inspired by the original Hall of Fame in America. Some of the greatest minds reside here for your inspiration.  Some of the greatest minds ever lived are in this book for your reward.  Dan McCormick has brought a new heightened level of awareness back to foundational teachings that shaped our country and can change your life!"
Art and Susan Zuckerman
Directors, Hall of Fame for Great Americans
