However, I think the reason why the book is presented in this manner is because there are more than enough texts out there that encourage people to be selfless. Therefore this book will provide a balance to the already established core principles of human behaviour.

After reading through the comments, it occurred to me that when I was reading the initial post I might have had difficulty disentangling the word success from getting by or moving through the ranks in society and as being centered around the self. I would say that being humane, for a majority of people, has connotations of genuineness and perhaps community.
Maybe success can indirectly or directly lead to humanity. Humanity can be an explicitly stated subgoal of overall success. Or success can incidentally lead to humanity. Or humanity can be the main purpose that has various milestones that can be defined as success in some way. The same seems true for humanity with respect to success.
It seems like the maestro mindset is highly personal. However, starting from this personal perspective might be beneficial, since recognizing that everything around you is merely your projection and a perception that you have can be humbling.
