Random House Digital, Inc., Feb 23, 2011 - Self-Help - 336 pages
Part vocational pep rally, part how-to book, What Makes the Great Great elaborates on the inspiring message bestselling author Dennis Kimbro put forth in his first book Think and Grow Rich--A Black Choice. In What Makes the Great Great, the author explores the strategies and thought processes of successful African-Americans. Through dozens of interviews and the inspirational stories of people like John H. Johnson, Publisher of Ebony magazine, Condoleeza Rice, Provost of Stanford University, and Ann Fudge, President of Maxwell House Coffee, Dr. Kimbro outlines the nine strategies that determine success.



According to Dr. Kimbro, being great depends on a commitment to making dreams come true: "All high achievers make choices, not excuses." He believes we all have the seeds of greatness in us, and his book gives readers the tools to discover and nurture those seeds, showing hem how to motivate themselves to master every aspect of their lives.

About the author (2011)

Dr. Kimbro is known as one of the most insightful and scholarly writers in the field today. As a lecturer & researcher in the field of management, entrepreneurship & human potential, he encourages his readers to look within to extract the keys that underlie all accomplishment. Dr. Kimbro studied the methodology of Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich. Dr. Kimbro decided to do what Hill had done in the 1930's. He developed a survey to use among peak performing black Americans. Two years later, he learned from the Hill Foundation, that Hill himself, had drafted a book in 1970 that explored the identical question and had written nearly 100 pages on the subject, which turned out to be his last. The Hill Foundation commissioned, Dr. Kimbro to update and complete Hill's original manuscript. Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice, the results of Dr. Kimbro's and Hill's efforts, distills the secrets of success contained in the lives of peak performing men & women.
