*Book Description*
Susan Ford Collins made a point to, instead of studying people that "got it wrong", she wanted to study the people that "got it right". You know, those annoyingly successful people that seem to have everything going for them? Obviously, not everyone's lives are perfect but they seem to have hit on something so in this 10 step book on "The Joys of Success", Susan shows us lucky readers what she's found.

*What I liked*
Okay. This one is another of those books that is just a tad b

Susan Ford Collins’ out-of-the-box idea to study the skills of highly successful people was met with skepticism, but the concept has led to the crafting of her Technology of Success series.

The first book in the series is entitled The Joy of Success: 10 Essential Skills for Getting the Success You Want. It dissects these 10 skills and explains why they are not only recommended, but necessary to accomplish a healthy, balanced, successful existence.

The book emphasizes the importance of outlining, a

This is a general look at skills necessary for success. There are no checklists or detailed instructions. The skills and must be thought through by the individual to create a plan. Collins has added many stories, some very personal, to illustrate the skills on a personal level. This is a book for those who look to the support of others for success. She helps us learn how to define our own success, how to establish a dream, support it, commit to it, and find others to help us complete it.

This was a well written work of nonfiction about how to be a success. It does teach one some good techniques to use and how you should feel about yourself. I received this from book fun.org for a fair and honest opinion.
