Hard work does not always produce results, nor does conventional wisdom provide all the answers to life's challenges. Ernst Alahram Louis-Jacques seeks to educate readers from a new perspective in Success With Meaning: The 5 Proven Steps to Life with Success. The catchy title is well-chosen as success can be hollow without a deeper meaning. The author expands on this in detail, unfolding his MVP-PA model (Mission, Vision, Passion, Plan, and Action). He explains every step to unlocking your talents and gifts to discover the sun within through passion and vision. Meaning includes having a sense of purpose and giving. The author delves into understanding the difference between success and fulfillment, where the latter goes far beyond success, emphasizing the lives that we touch and the need to make the world a better place. Wealth does not equal success in itself, but, conversely, acquiring wealth is not sinful, as some assert. Instead, the author points to the need for financial stability, rather than accumulating money and material possessions. In our search for success, we should not allow the norms and expectations of society to blunt our passion or mission. Ultimately it is a search for meaning.
Success With Meaning is more than a self-help book - it is an inspirational and influential work. Ernst Alahram Louis-Jacques has provided a blueprint for personal growth that is both practical and relevant. The author is a motivational speaker and artist from Haiti. His accomplishments are the perfect testimony to the success that can be achieved by using the techniques he so eloquently describes. His path to success is interesting and a shining example of what can be achieved with the right attitude, approach, and application. He followed the example of role models such as his father, mentors, and famous figures, adding his brand of insight to the mix. The writing style is crisp, informative, and persuasive. The transformative power of words shines throughout, as does the author’s strong sense of mission. There is a spiritual quality subtly woven into the text. The information is presented logically and clearly, with examples given at every stage of the process. The book is targeted at the 18 to 55 age group, who will benefit most from the techniques outlined. This is a thoroughly comprehensive and exceptional guide to achieving fulfillment on top of success through clear, actionable steps. It is thought-provoking and highly recommended.
