How many outwardly successful people still feel empty inside? Clark has spent decades traveling around the world, interviewing the famous and powerful; consulting with presidents and generals and sheikhs and corporate leaders; creating a multimillion-dollar business; and (before any of the above) overcoming a paralyzing injury

Review

“Dan Clark shows how success is but a stepping-stone to the real prize—making a difference that benefits others. He offers commonsense tools for character building and focusing on the greater purpose. Mr. Clark’s work affirms my belief that ‘the best exercise for the human heart is reaching down and lifting another up.’”
—JON M. HUNTSMAN, Sr., founder and executive chairman, Huntsman Corporation
 
“Dan Clark’s The Art of Significance is a magnificent read! His Twelve Laws urge us to chart a course beyond the fleeting success found in money, popularity, and fame in order to enjoy the enduring rewards found in ser­vice, obedience, harmony, and love. Leaving a lasting legacy is our true gift to the world.”
—STEPHEN M. R. COVEY, author of The Speed of Trust
