Heard of the Secret? Now get the real thing! Powerful principles and strategies for success that will inspire you to pursue your dreams and find the success you have always wanted.

What does it take to overcome challenges and achieve authentic success? What are the habits, attitudes and perception changes necessary to achieve success and financial freedom? How is one's potential determined by personal beliefs and faith? In Quest for Success producer Lili Fournier presents eleven of today's great thinkers and leaders who give profound yet simple answers to these difficult questions.

Each of us has a special gift. Each of us has a heroic path to walk. This is a call to greatness that begins with you. And igniting that spirit, that passion for the possible, is where the journey begins.
Quest for Success explores what it takes to live a life of true happiness, personal fulfillment and authentic success. This is an extraordinary journey on that most profound of human longings, our search for happiness and fulfillment, and the wisdom we will need to find it.

Ultimately they all agree; people who are the most successful are people who have been most true to themselves; they know who they are; they are "happy for no reason" because they live every day in a state of well-being that doesn't depend on circumstances.

"This critically acclaimed PBS series features the essential teachings from the great leaders of our time. This remarkable series is a treasure chest of wisdom with the power to transform your life. My praise could not be more sincere" -Jack Canfield, "Chicken Soup for the Soul"

Customer Reviews

Very chopped up, do not spend the money!
This video is like a very long commercial. The information is presented in a very chopped up way and is very frustrating to watch. It does not do the presentors justice! The messages are lost in the "splices".

Dissapointing
Not quite ready to drink the Kool-Aid... I had high hopes for this DVD because it had such potential... Dali Lama, Desman TuTu, Richard Branson...etc. What I was most disappointed in was the cheesiness of the production, and its "snippet and soundbite" style. I was hoping to listen to mini-interviews with the peopled featured in the DVD.... instead I got snippets and soundbites of what they might have to say about a loosely formed topic. The DVD seemed to ramble about... throwing themes and concepts at the viewer faster than I could follow... it never really came together. The Dali Lama is not featured much, compared to other self-appointed self-help gurus... some of whom I liked... and a few who I give little credibility.... Some of the more heavily featured folks are simple trying to promote themselves as wiser than they actually are... and get you to buy their stuff. Sorry to sound negative... but some of the speakers I simply got a horrible vibe from... as in "you are so fake!!! I don't believe ANYTHING you say. You are so full you crap! I got tired of hearing... "you deserve everything.. the universe is waiting for you to ask to be rich, happy and beautiful"... if often sounded like nonsense. It is so SELF SELF SELF centered.

Another drawback about this DVD is the segways between the topics....the are painfully repeated over and over and over... and are too long... I call them the Burning Eyeball... newagey graphic segways...which are followed by new-agey video of hawks flying, people kissing on vacation, people getting massages and getting out of fancy cars.... golfers golfing, or ocean waves crashing... I found it very hokey and distracting.

Having said all that... the core idea is very cool, and very inspirational... despite the drawbacks... & being so overloaded... having the best Self Improvement people all chiming in on... believe this, believe that... do this, do that... Yes I realize the viewer can opt to adopt the practice or not... I just found it all a bit odd. It's as if the producers had these great interviews... and instead featuring great individuals... they decided to create a DVD around concepts and ideas (which they call THE QUEST FOR SUCCESS)... the problem is... they lost all sense of continuity in chopping up the interviews into soundbites. And I don't know what they were thinking with the excessive segways.. just a bad choice...its as if they had to take up time to make the dvd 60 minutes... I would have rather heard more actual interviews. The one thing this DVD does is allows you to comparison shop these inspirational book writers and speakers.

I will watch again.... it's just painful to sit through bad parts to get to the good parts.

Better than the News!
I watch this video everyday instead of the news. It might be on in the background and I will hear bits and pieces or I will sit down and watch large chucks of it again and again. It is inspiring and reminds us all that we really do have the power to have a happy, joy filled life. I bought several copies and gave them to people at work. We can't hear enough of the good stuff!
