Official Apex Reviews Rating FIVE STARS
Meticulously researched and compiled in an unprecedented narrative style, "Success" is a work of sheer inspiration. Within 150 pages, Ms. Kent has gathered 1001 quotes from such undeniable success 'masters' as Carl Jung, Eddie Murphy, Kirstie Alley and Isaac Newton. With chapter sections covering Imagining, Goals, Attitude, Enthusiasm and Courage, this book is a virtual "How-To" for anyone struggling to turn their most cherished dreams into reality.
What I cannot get over is the genius with which Ms. Kent has woven these 1001 quotes together! They flow seamlessly, as if from a single narrator, and they speak to the reader in a single guiding voice. And yet, each line is a direct quote from one of the greats, a directive to step away from unhappiness and embrace change, in order to live a more rewarding life. Also, "Success" is not merely a guidebook toward material fulfillment. On the contrary, Ms. Kent challenges the reader to first redefine success, before embarking on a journey to reach it. For success, as Ms. Kent knows, lies not in the destination, but rather, in the journey.
Truly well done! A must-read for anyone struggling to let go of the anchors that keep us from reaching our potential. -
