Book Description

December 26, 2007

Each of us is born brilliant. Then we spend the rest of our lives having our brilliance buried by people, circumstances, and experiences. Eventually, we forget that we ever had genius and special talents, and our brilliance is locked away in a vault deep within. So we settle for who we are, instead of striving for who we were meant to be.

Release Your Brilliance provides the combination to the vault where your brilliance is kept. After struggling for thirty-two years with disillusion, defeat, and despair, author Simon T. Bailey cracked the code to personal transformation, turning his life around and becoming a highly successful entrepreneur, respected family man and community leader. Using the metaphor that we're all diamonds in the rough, Simon shares the four key steps to cut and polish the gem that is you in order to reawaken your genius, reignite your internal light, and release your potential. He guides your transformation with interactive tools such as Personal Appraisal exercises, Diamond Polishing action steps, and true stories of Living Diamonds. Join the thousands of individuals and organizations worldwide who've sat down with Simon and learned to create lasting change and release their brilliance!

5.0 out of 5 stars Release Your Brillance, January 29, 2008
This review is from: Release Your Brilliance: The 4 Steps to Transforming Your Life and Revealing Your Genius to the World (Hardcover)
From the beginning of this book we are reminded that each of us is born brilliant. Not just OK, and not just special but brilliant like a polished gemstone.... a diamond. The problem with us lies not in the fact that we are born brilliant; the problem lies in the fact that we tend to let our brilliance die down and dim as the years go by.


Much causes our brilliance to lose it's glimmer, outside sources dim its beauty, others cause us to become less of an eye-catching jewel, but according to author Simon T. Bailey, that does not have to happen. That is not something that we have to put up with in our lives.


Our brilliance can be as bright and free from imperfections as we grow older as it is when we are young. The author knows of what he speaks. He spent much of his life struggling to find the brilliance within and it was only with deep introspection and study that he came up with the concepts within this book, concepts that are easily added to ones life to rediscover and maintain that brilliance that lies within us.... some of us having it lying dormant for years.


I would suggest this book for anyone who doubts his or her brilliance in life. For anyone who feels their brilliance dimming and who desires the help and guidance to find that brilliance once again and let it shine from deep within. It is a book well worth reading and one that will aid the reader in discovering that which I suspect has been buried for a long time. I know it did me. And lest one feel this review is but one woman's opinion, may I mention, I received not one but two of these books as Christmas gifts from well wishing friends and relatives. Obviously Mr Bailey is doing something right and is reaching far more readers than just myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Release Your Brilliance, January 30, 2008
This review is from: Release Your Brilliance: The 4 Steps to Transforming Your Life and Revealing Your Genius to the World (Hardcover)
Eureka! I have discovered my brilliance. It was there all the time, but Simon's words in "Release Your Brilliance" gave it a voice. I find I am engrossed with his words of wisdom that were written just for me. I have discovered I have a talent for words, so I am completing a journal. It describes my current illness. In June 2007 my eyesight was failing in my left eye and I was diagnosed with a stroke. I am legally blind. That rocked my world. I am a registered nurse, the caregiver, and I am learning how to accept assistance. A MRI showed an aneurysm in my brain. WOW, too much information for me to handle. To make a long story short - I found a brilliant surgeon and have had two successful surgeries. My left eye continues to be a source of distress but I have come to this conclusion: Nothing, not even this set of difficulties, will determine my destiny! I now have the power to shine. I am active in church, I make jewelry (this is my passion) and I am healing physically and better still -- spiritually. There are not enough words to describe the effect your book has had on me. I am in awe of your brilliance, and your words. Thank you for allowing me to go on this journey, with your help and the tools to become the brilliant diamond God meant me to be.

3.0 out of 5 stars We are all diamonds in the rough, January 1, 2008
This review is from: Release Your Brilliance: The 4 Steps to Transforming Your Life and Revealing Your Genius to the World (Hardcover)
Using a diamond metaphor, the author describes our personalities and talents as a gem that can shine brilliantly, if properly cut and polished. Many people fail to see their full potential, because their innate gifts are hidden inside a rough stone that needs to be carefully prepared for it to achieve its full potential. This book describes the author's approach to unleashing the potential within each person.

While this book does provide some insights into what it takes to achieve success in our lives, much of the advice is terribly generic, lacking in the specifics that would make it truly useful. Perhaps understandably, the author leaves the discovery of the specifics up to the reader to discover, noting that there is no simple, magical cure-all that will release one's gifts. Instead, it requires a great deal of honest self-reflection and hard work to redirect our lives toward achieving our potential. How helpful this advice is probably depends a great deal on the reader and his or her circumstances. This book didn't speak to me personally, but might be just the answer to help others.
