Success Starts Within: Achieve Your Potential Through Radical Self-Care

Mindset expert and consultant Scott presents an engaging and easy-to-follow guide to improving one’s inner dialogue as a path to fulfilling one’s goals. The book is reminiscent of Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking and Rhonda Byrne’s The Secret, while also giving science-backed resources for how the author’s methods work. Scott’s aim is to have readers become their “loudest cheerleader” and help them to improve their self-talk; he does so in a kind and encouraging way. Each chapter provides valuable advice, information from current studies, and references to other authors and experts in the field, in addition to “radical self-care” exercises that are doable and even pleasurable. This book is full of encouraging advice that readers will relish, and while it is not a replacement for therapy, it is recommended for those who need a little more assistance processing difficult times. It’s also a good foundation to read alongside another book on task management or productivity for those who are more entrepreneurial.
