The Success Guidebook by Elizabeth Hamilton-Gaurino 

Genre: Self-help

Pages: 224

Publisher: Health Communications Inc EB

BACK OF THE BOOK:

An inspirational guide for visualizing and actualizing success on a personal and professional level.

Author Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino, master life coach and founder of The Best Ever You Network has long espoused that we must redefine success for our authentic selves—a one-size fits-all-concept is not only outdated but unworkable. Success is so much more than data or the dollars in our bank account. True success is reflected in the smiles that brighten our faces and the peace that settles in our hearts. It’s the gratitude we seek in all things and the intention and actions being our very best in each moment.

In The Success Guidebook, readers will find inspiration, motivation, and a pathway to live their best, most fulfilling life. By implementing Elizabeth’s unique Ten Factors of Success—the behaviors consistently exhibited by people who stand out and behave with world-class excellence—readers will learn how to finally overcome the stubborn obstacles that have stood in their way and harness the power to move forward with clarity, a renewed purpose, and the personalized confidence to build a life of bold, brave, and infinite possibilities. Included are profiles of 20 people who exemplify these principles. Here’s the secret: You don’t need to be on a national or international platform to be world-class. You can have it right in your own home, to be and feel successful in each and every moment of your life. This book will help you learn how to tap into world-class behaviors and get the results you desire—at last.

REVIEW:

The blurb for The Success Guidebook promises that readers will find inspiration, motivation and a pathway to live your best life and it certainly delivers this. I’m not one to read nonfiction or self-help books but I found I took a lot from the lessons within the book, not only for incorporating into my working life but into my personal life as well. With trying to set up my own business I will continually be going back to this book for guidance. During the early stages, I relied on the first section, Visualise, and the exercises that come with it, but most of all the stories from other people’s lives and how they have developed I found to be very helpful.

But when he overhears a stranger whisper orders to his parents with an offer of a silver knife, his world is turned upside down and he runs away from home, leaving everything behind.

A strange magic blossoms within him, one that ties him to a secret cult, to walking nightmares, and the Dreamon Realm itself. Callum must learn to trust again and find his own family while coming to terms with the power he wields.

But when ravers start dying, undercover cops are sent to infiltrate the chaotic, deadly scene.

And can the instigators be caught twice?
