The danger is a subtle and hidden one - the same qualities exemplified in the lives of the most successful, can also be the qualities that lead to disgrace and ruin. This book explores the fascinating and tragic inclination among successful men and women to ultimately destroy themselves. It provides insights into lives that fall out of personal, spiritual, and career balance. It discusses the concept of success, and how we choose to define it, which can ultimately destroy our dreams.

The book is filled with insight from an author who has counseled, encouraged and ministered to individuals, churches, Para-church organizations and community leaders for more than three decades.

How can you protect yourself from making wrong decisions and losing much of what you have worked so hard for? ...And when you achieve what you feel is success, how do you maintain your equilibrium and your sense of balance, and ensure that you finish your career and life well? In this follow-up to his book Why Great Men Fall, Goodall points out safeguards and principles that we can focus on to insure balance with excellence in what we do.
