The full title of this book is Strategic Concepts-That Clarify A Focused Life, A Self-Study Manual Defining and Applying Focused Life Concepts to Leaders Today. This manual was originally written in 1995 by Dr. J. Robert Clinton and used in classes at Fuller Seminary. After ten years of use the book has been revised to show the latest findings gathered from these ten years of studies of leaders' lives. The manual gives results of research on focused lives: life purpose, effective methodologies, major role and ultimate contribution. It defines a Personal Life Mandate-a two to three page document with narrative paragraphs giving the findings of a focused life. The end result is a major tool for decision making and help in movement toward a focused life. The concepts will be used by leaders for their own lives and for others as they mentor them toward completion of an Ephesians 2:10 life.
Author Bob Buford called them "code breakers." They are people age 40 and older who have pioneered the art of finishing well in these modern times, and who can teach us to do the same, starting today. Buford sought out 60 of these trailblazers--including Peter Drucker, Roger Staubach, Jim Collins, Ken Blanchard, and Dallas Willard--and has recorded their lively conversations in these pages so that they can serve as "mentors in print" for all of us. "Twenty years from now," Buford writes, "the rules for this second adulthood as a productive season of life may be better known. But for now, we're out across the frontier breaking new ground." Buford gives you a chance to sit at the feet of these pioneers and learn the art of finishing well so you can shift into a far more fulfilling life now, no matter your age, and pursue a lasting significance that will be a legacy for future generations.

Here is what President Clinton thought and felt but could not say in public. This book rests upon a secret project, initiated by Clinton, to preserve for future historians an unfiltered record of presidential experience. During his eight years in office, between 1993 and 2001, Clinton answered questions and told stories in the White House, usually late at night.
