From the Back Cover:
There’s a message getting a lot of airtime these days. It says to be successful, you have to step into the spotlight, climb the ladder, become the boss, or chase whatever version of success that’s been dangled in front of you.
But what if there’s another way? What if fame, money, and power aren’t all that we should be chasing?
In The Secret Society of Success, Tim Schurrer invites you to reevaluate your definition of success and learn a new, freer way to go about achieving it. How do you learn this approach? With the Secret Society as your guide—a community of people who know how to make an impact, whether they have the spotlight or not. The Secret Society will teach you to
– define success for yourself;
– contribute to your team without minding who gets the credit;
– make an impact that spans far beyond yourself, regardless of the size of your platform;
– navigate living in the tension between contentment and striving;
– go from feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and restless in your job to being confident in the value you bring to the team; and
– discover meaning and fulfillment in the work that you do.
Through powerful stories of people like the CEO of Apple Tim Cook, NBA all-star LeBron James, Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, and people whose names you’ve never heard of, you will discover that the success you’re looking for is within your reach, wherever you are and whatever your role.
My Review
The Secret Society of Success is a great book about the mindset and heart we bring to our work! It can apply to so many areas of life, not just the work we do to make a living. The chapters are short, easy to read, and full of practical advice. I loved all the real life stories and examples of people who don’t define success the way the world does. Anyone would benefit from reading this book, from hourly workers to CEOs to entrepreneurs, no matter what industry or stage of life you’re in. It would make a great gift for high school or college graduates!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
It sounds really good!
