We would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a educational, inspirational, or motivational book.

As a practicing physician and new father, I frequently encounter situations where character and integrity come into play. Dr. Brown's seven principles apply directly to my work and family.

The book is filled with quality examples and stories to help illustrate the points Dr. Brown makes, and these examples really allow the reader to connect on a personal level with the book. Also, as a major league baseball fan, I really enjoyed the afterward that is written by Curt Shilling. Since reading the book, I've found several topics that I've been able to apply to situations in my life. I'm sure that I will revisit this book again in the future to help me continue to maintain my character and integrity. To sum up: A great, insightful book that I would recommend to anyone!

Jeffrey Brown's The Competitive Edge is straightforward and very practical. His anecdotes are easy to understand and shed light on the points he makes. His stories are often fun and always intriguing. He defines winning (or any success) in ways that work for the long haul. If we follow his strategies now, in the future we could look back on our lives and be able to say that we lived well. Each chapter ends with a handy review list. When the reader is ready to apply the principles their own life, I would recommend compiling their own handy lists based on Dr. Brown's book and adapted to their personal needs. Entertaining and to the point! Thumbs up!
