Every individual is born with tremendous talents and abilities that can’t be defined by any traditional schooling or parent-motivated suggestion. If the highest-educated national scholar you know recommended the highest ideals for your life, they would still miss the potential of your capabilities by a country mile. 

Everyone sees success in a different light. Some people seek to grow their income to a level where it is no longer important. Others want to eliminate the idea of money as a controller of their lives, preferring personal peace as a constant state of being. And yet, others desire a solid family and being surrounded by great friends, which makes life worth living. Then we turn to motivational books and seminars to help us achieve these goals, but these prosperity-mimicking religions are just as dangerous as gambling all of your money at a Vegas poker table in hopes of a winning return.

Today, we find that the driving force of motivation tools and motivating speakers has been revealed to be more damaging to the human psyche than any other drug. In this audiobook, the author shows us that traditional motivation is little more than an addictive dopamine rush that, when drained away in low times, forces its hosts back to dependency instead of freeing them to pursue personal growth and development. 

Promoting employees to engage doggedly in a field they are not cut out for aids society. It insists that every person who was born with a specific talent must remain in a trapped existence where their missed glory of excellence is just bearable enough to stay in the game.  

They are unhealthy to us in their running up and down to a new fad of prosperity, only to achieve for us a new low after the one we had before the belief took hold. Motivational theology is ill-advised because it seeks, like all other religions and addictions, to add something to the body that is foreign to its creation, as opposed to drawing out the abundance that is already there and yet hidden.

This is not about adding any new type of feel-good dogma or theology to your life to magically make it better. This audiobook is more about dropping the phony-baloney bullshit that we were taught as children and that ultimately limited our success in what we could visibly see or minimally imagine for ourselves. 

The most average person to ever listen to this book is far more astounding than they could ever give themselves credit for, due to the conditioning and setbacks of their upbringing. Who we believe ourselves to be with our minds and what we desire for our souls with our hearts becomes our greatest unaccomplished dream. 

Instead of true internal empowerment, many of us go through our daily routines living out our parents’ unaccomplished dreams of the past and placing our true desires on hold for the next generation to discover. Instead of having a life where you run out of days before it runs out of you, we pass strangers on the way to work pretending they are where they want to be in life. In actuality, keeping faith with the employment facade means that this job is doing more to take years from my life than adding value to my bank account. 

We are returning home to partners that we don’t particularly care for and staying in neighborhoods we are hardly satisfied with. And we fear that our children won’t make any better of the future than we are having now.
