Rating: 5 out of 5

This is an unusual book on success (and I've read a lot of them). Most books start with the authors "phoenix rising from the ashes" story and, now that they've established their authority to give out advice, tells you what to do to achieve similar. This book is different from that. It spends a long time at the beginning debunking many of our 21st century parameters of what we nowadays think of as "success". And I'm glad the author does that. Too much, too often we exit early adulthood with this idea that success comprises a certain formula based on what our families/schools/media gurus/religions teach us. And we go along with it, all through our lives many times, without questioning. This book is for those who question those formulas, who have a sneaking feeling these formulas isn't for them, who've followed some guru or mentors approach only to find they are harboring a deep secret that doesn't make them successful at all and who fee betrayed. What does *your* success look like? This book might help you find out.
