The Fred Factor: How Passion in Your Work and Life Can Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary Review: A really good book to read for healthcare workers!! - I've worked for Home Instead for 10 years and have tried to strive in my position as a Fred. This is the first time I have read this book and I would recommend it to anyone who works in healthcare as an encouragement and a reminder that the work you do in life is important and makes a huge difference in the lives of many. Review: A Life Changing Book! - Mark Sanborn’s The Fred Factor is one of the most inspiring books that I have read. In a world where people do not understand the value of others, Mark introduces us to Fred, a mailman who does his job with such extraordinary passion, integrity, and care that he transforms the lives of everyone he serves. Through Fred’s example, Mark reminds us that excellence is not about position or power, but about attitude and intentionality. This book shines because of its simplicity and depth. The lessons are practical, easy to understand, and immediately applicable to both personal and professional life. Sanborn makes it clear that you don’t need a fancy title, a big budget, or even special talents to make a lasting impact—you simply need the choice to treat every task as an opportunity to serve others with excellence. One of the most powerful takeaways is the idea that we all have the ability to make the “ordinary extraordinary.” Whether it’s through kindness, innovation, or simply going the extra mile, The Fred Factor challenges us to rethink how we approach our daily work and relationships. Mark's storytelling is engaging and uplifting, and the message resonates long after you finish reading. This isn’t just a business or leadership book—it’s a guide to living a life of purpose, generosity, and creativity. I have conducted leadership classes for high school students, college students, and adults. This is required reading for all programs. I highly recommend The Fred Factor to anyone who wants to be more intentional about how they live and lead. It’s the kind of book that can transform lives to motivate you to live a better life. If you’ve ever wondered how to make a real difference in the world, this book is your answer. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #51,724 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #161 in Motivational Management & Leadership #210 in Business Motivation & Self-Improvement (Books) #774 in Success Self-Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,662) | | Dimensions | 5.15 x 0.64 x 7.7 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0385513518 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385513517 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | April 20, 2004 | | Publisher | Crown Currency | ## Images ![The Fred Factor: How Passion in Your Work and Life Can Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713DTh2RE-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A really good book to read for healthcare workers!! *by E***G on January 23, 2026* I've worked for Home Instead for 10 years and have tried to strive in my position as a Fred.
