Success Soul Shakes is a practical book written to wean readers of the poorly perceived notion of poverty, wealth and failure, especially in Africa.
The 381-page book with 52 chapters is targeted at helping readers aim and reach for the sky and above, in life.
The author, David Dokun, through his book, corrects the impression that success is heavily linked to the amount of material acquisition and a person’s social significance. He also provides nuggets through which readers can assess progress as well as establish steps to achieving greatness.
Dokun also addresses the increased tendency for people, especially Africans, to focus their expectations on the contribution of the supernatural as well as making comparisons with other successful people without understanding their stories.
The author notes that the world, especially the African society is filled with a misconception about success, as it is perceived towards the amount of material acquisition and level of a person’s visible social significance.
Success Soul Shakes presents 366 principles for the treatment of all kinds of trans-generational and self-inflicted failures on the journey of success.
The writer provides stories, quotes, and affirmations that will help readers connect missing dots in their life’s puzzle.
The realistic nature of the examples in this book, and the simple language in which it is written, makes this a suitable read for teenagers, youths and adults. This is a timeless piece for successful people and those who are on their way up.
