Reviews

With a distinct British sensibility and syntax, life coach Harrold (Coach Yourself to Success) describes seven rules for achieving and maintaining success, illustrated by in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs and business people. Her subjects are united in focus, drive and unrelenting appetite for hard work; Harrold observes, "They all had a grand idea, a big scheme that inspired them. It was never about the money. It was about service, improving things and helping others." While her seven categories may seem generic--be passionate, practice self-belief, do more, take more risks, inspire others, persevere, be generous--her paradigm of success is useful and inspiring. Vision, generosity and what Harrold calls "optimistic resilience" are crucial components of the successful person's psyche. An entertaining roundup of "famous failures"--including J.K. Rowling (eight literary agents rejected the first Harry Potter book), Walt Disney (fired from a newspaper because he "lacked imagination"), Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill (both academic failures)--takes some of the sting out of perceived failure and is genuinely emboldening, while periodic short exercises throughout the book sharpen the reader's sense of purpose and clarify life goals.
