Author Maxwell Adekoje, a Nigerian-born American paragon of the self made man, has contributed impressive books about his philosophy and his insightful guidance, books that to date include SUCCESS UNLIMITED WITH MAXWELL ADEKOJE, HIGHER IS CALLING, and now JUST EAT THE WORM. His life and his achievements serve as inspiration for all of us, no matter the phase of journey we are experiencing. Even his dedication of this book to ending childhood hunger, and his commitment to contributing the sales of this book ‘to feeding poor kids around the world’ suggests the inspiration of his writing.
The author’s compassionate and nurturing manner of writing makes this book an invitation to all of us to not only endure, but to succeed. As he offers, ‘Uncertain times are in our midst. It feels as though the world around us is spinning out of control. While many will view chaos as a downhill spiral toward the dismantling of dreams and hope, others will view this season as an opportunity for growth and rebirth…no one is coming to save you. In fact, you already have everything inside you to succeed and create your own opportunity…It is time to level up and switch gears on your path to self-actualization,’ ‘Failure fertilizes success,’ ‘Don’t be afraid to make mistakes,’ et cetera.
Enhanced by fine quotations from important minds (accompanied by clever illustrations), this is a book of stories that underline the author’s authoritative commitment to helping us face challenges and crises and not only overcome them, but incorporate them into positive landmarks for change in viewing our world and our future.
The text is rich in simply stated postulates: ‘Successful people focus on the core of wimple creative thinking. Paying attention to simple details will make an enormous difference.’ ‘The mindset of starting with failure and ending with a victory is the gateway to an incredible discovery,’ ‘Your mind is a labor room for ideas, where the water breaks! Unleash your creativity…surround yourself with creative people seeking to evolve and improve themselves.’ And explaining his books title, he states, ‘Your worm is the most crucial test life will thrust at you daily…eating the worm leads to a sea of possibilities.’
The warmth and sensitivity of the author’s writing make this book memorable and valuable. Very highly recommended. Grady Harp, January 21
