Book Description

January 1, 2005

Women often seek external barometers to define success-their salary, their looks, their relationships, their possessions. This book offers them a truer barometer: the quality of their inner experience. In a time of widespread disillusionment with material rewards, this is a guide for women seeking both inner and outer riches.

This timely book shows how 30 remarkable women broke through to a deeper experience of success in their personal and professional lives by tapping into their authentic power.
Through moving personal stories from women of many professions and walks of life, the book explores 30 essential principles not often associated with success such as Compassion, Self-Love, Intuition, Forgiveness, Freedom, Intention, Accountability and Wholeness.

Some women who share their stories:
Dynasty actress Catherine Oxenberg seemed like she had it all-looks, fame and money. But her fairy-tale life had a very dark side, starting with child abuse that eventually led to her struggle with bulimia. She details how the power of receptivity led to her healing.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Christine Horner was enraged when an insurance company told her they wouldn't cover reconstructive surgery on her mastectomy patient because the breast was an "organ with no function." She vowed to pass laws that would make insurance companies pay for breast reconstruction for every woman facing this surgery. Her power of intention got it done.

Review

"The Soul of Success encompasses everything I believe in. Integrity, faith, honesty, intuition and courage are traits that we all have, yet we sometimes forget to trust and believe in them. Trusting in your soul is the key to your success. Well written and worth the read."

5.0 out of 5 stars Way BEyond "Chicken Soup"!, April 18, 2005
This review is from: The Soul of Success: A Woman's Guide to Authentic Power (Paperback)
Although the title suggests this book is targeted to women readers, and the stories are written by women, the principles written about are really quite universal. And what a collection of stories it is! As much as I appreciate the "Chicken Soup" series, the material in this book offers a much greater depth of development. I found this collection powerful because the author's introduction to each principle really clarifies what's at stake, making the stories themselves stronger in their capacity to teach and transform.

The author, Jennifer Read Hawthorne, a very successful motivational speaker, really lays bare her soul. Her highly personal approach to her subject, and the vulnerability, intelligence, clarity and self-effacing humor with which she writes about coming to grips with the issues addressed in the book, are what makes it particularly moving. The women's voices in these 27 first-person accounts ring true with the authenticity of hard-won wisdom. It's a very potent combination: Ms. Read's brilliantly communicated set-up for each story and the lesson learned in the story itself.

This is an illuminating and thought-provoking treatment that will strike a resonant chord with many readers of both genders. Take it to heart. It's worth the trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Empowering!, March 18, 2005
This review is from: The Soul of Success: A Woman's Guide to Authentic Power (Paperback)
When I first picked up this book I thought, that since it was written by a woman to a woman audience, I would have little to no value reading it. BOY WAS I WRONG. Jennifer did an outstanding job showing us how chasing after traditional success (monetary success) eventually will leave us feeling very empty. And it so true, after we are able to pay all our bills and have a few dollars extra, what we really need to do is stop and think if chasing down another few bucks will bring us more happiness or not.

There was a study I once read that stated: `to be happy you only need to make 40,000 a year' (yeah, it was written a little while ago... and I am sure we have to add a few dollars to make that more current, but the point is that as long as you are able to pay for a normal comfortable lifestyle, whether you are happy after that is completely unrelated to your income. Rather it all has to do with our attitude... and yet so many of us still think that more money will bring us more happiness! Why? Because we have been conditioned to think so.

I urge you to read this book and see for yourself the powerful principles contained within. Jennifer has some talent... she inspires us to get in touch with our real self--our soul. Highly recommended!
