Sharing this moment with you! Just received a fabulous review from Publisher’s Weekly for my new book, The Success Guidebook - How to Visualize, Actualize, and Amplify You! Focusing on families, friendship, careers, trust, learning from your mistakes, and forging a step-by-step path to happiness, this rousing release from Hamilton-Guarino (author of Best Ever You) is an uplifting, tip-packed guide for people looking to handle change, visualize goals, find success, and overcome challenges to achieve their dreams. Hamilton-Guarino draws on inspirational testimonials, personal anecdotes, and clear-eyed, achievable advice broken down into numerous subcategories and “Success Tips” (#14: “Surround Yourself with Awesomeness”), all crafted to illuminate the long road to self-improvement. She emphasizes throughout that success isn’t one size fits all, identifying ten key factors that play into it (“Imagine, Believe, Focus, Plan, Ask, Network, Collaborate, Sustain, Adjust and Celebrate”) while sharing a wealth of advice to help readers face their fears and mistakes as they strive for their goals. Hamilton-Guarino personalizes the material with exercises, journal prompts (“write freely about how you wish to be remembered”) and other tools crafted to help readers discover their own routes and destinations. She emphasizes collaboration throughout, noting, in one of the many “Stores from the Heart” case studies, that entrepreneurship “requires collaboration, shared wisdom, and a humility that allows for learning from others.” The emphasis on collaboration may surprise readers raised on the myth of the independent genius entrepreneur, though Hamilton-Guarino’s treatment of the subject is nuanced and includes the advice that collaborations can become bitter without mutual respect. Some material here will be familiar to self-help readers, and The Success Guidebook occasionally is repetitive, though Hamilton-Guarino’s enthusiasm is infectious. She writes like a coach or a friend, someone who has been through what readers might be facing and offers advice born not out of experience. Her attitude toward the relationship between money and happiness is interesting, as she recounts learning money’s value the hard way, via a lack of it, but also proposes that money (nor “status, awards … or famous contacts in your phone”) is the key to happiness. Her comments about resilience (“resilience and determination can overcome even the toughest of setbacks”) are especially upbeat and hopeful. Takeaway: Upbeat guide to charting one’s own long road to success. Comparable Titles: S.S. Bawa’s Visualizing Success, James McCrae’s The Art of You.
