If you have ever struggled with the formula presented as success, you may have wondered why success seems to escape your grasp. Maybe the answer is not in the formula taught. The author has sought to develop an understanding as to how fear plays a part in handicapping ones efforts to achieve success. Erica Samuels presents the idea that to address the flaw in ones outcome, one must first accept the flaw in ones thinking. In a journey of internal exploration the author takes you on her own quest for healing her dilemma of obtaining success. She shows how to realize success as not a state given but one to be claimed.
