How we define success is based on many variables: personal trials, self-taught lessons, careers, childhood experiences, among others. One person may aim to become a doctor because one of their parents did not achieve that goal. Others are inspired by their childhood heroes. There is no definitive definition of success; it is self-defined.

Bruce Brodie shares very thought-provoking insights on success in The Success Project. Barely two days since the book was published, but my attention was incessant! The author shares numerous success testimonies from various people ranging from athletes to real estate dealers, among other careers.

The book is divided into different segments. Among them include career, women, failure, diversity, etc. Some parts are best suited for specific people. For example, under “women,” the talks and testimonies will resonate best with the female gender. The author includes information he calls “171 pieces of advice.” Here, Bruce details inspiring quotes from renowned people like Oprah Winfrey, Abraham Lincoln, Michelle Obama, etc. The author reminds us we need other people in our journey to success. We cannot accomplish everything on our own. Teamwork is an essential condiment in the process.

One testimony I enjoyed the most was from a real-estate dealer. For many years, Sterling traveled a lot for work. Hence, he barely spent quality time with his family. He is remarkably successful today. However, his absence took a toll on his family. Sterling admits he’d choose a different path if asked to start his life afresh.

I enjoyed the prologue. The author gives credit when it is due. In addition, there was diversity in crafting the book. I say this because among those that contributed to the success of the book are two LGBTQ and six are minorities. Others have served in top positions. The well of knowledge is indescribable!

I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I didn’t uncover anything to dislike. I found one error, so the volume is professionally edited. One thing that stood out the most was the definition of terms. On each page, the author highlights terms that may appear challenging. He then states their explanations. This aspect saves the time spent consulting Google and other dictionaries for meanings of complex terminologies. I found it valuable because the book includes slang from varied fields: economics, sales, games, etc. Are you struggling to accomplish a goal: career, business, and school, among others? I recommend you The Success Project.

Yes, the term success is personal, has individual interpretations. I am impressed by the great points highlighted in favour of this book. Definitely worth reading.

The different meanings we have for success and our different reasons to pursue a goal is something that should be observed and this book seems to highlight that. Thanks for the review.
