About the book

All of us hunger for success, but struggle to balance the drumroll of the world with the beat of our own heart. Some of us pursue Outer Success, wanting to be liked and loved, lauded and rewarded. But in our quest for worldly glory, we may ignore the subtle stirring of our heart, waking up one day to realize just how far we have drifted from our personal ideals. Others among us seek Inner Success, wanting the freedom to pursue our personal passions. But in our quest to be true to ourselves, we may end up hurting, disappointing or antagonizing others, straining relationships and being sidelined.

It seems that our drives for Outer and Inner Success are destined to clash. But perhaps that’s only because we’ve been searching in the wrong places. This book shows how we can pursue what is important to us and fulfill our greatest potential by activating our Five Core Energies: Purpose, Wisdom, Growth, Love, and Self-Realization.
