Description

The Success Paradox is the improbable story of a life and business transformed, told in a warmly authentic style that says: “I hit rock bottom, I surrendered, I began doing the opposite of what I’d been doing before, miracles happened, and here’s what you can learn from my journey.”

With riveting personal details that illuminate his discoveries, Gary details how he defied the odds – not just to survive but to thrive - by implementing a series of paradoxical strategies, fundamentally opposite to anything he’d ever done before. The result is an inspiring book about what happened to him and a blueprint for readers to experience how to surrender and win in business and life.

Advance Praise

“Knowing Gary for 15 years I have had a front row view of his personal and business trials, tribulations and successes. His positive transformation in all aspects of his life has been phenomenal. His disarming personality attracted me to him. I think his best traits are being genuine, honest, transparent and a wonderful listener. I learn something of value from him every time we speak. This book will help nurture a much needed movement supporting mental wellness...and the business leadership ideas and tools that Gary promotes are invaluable!”

There are not many business books written by country boys, so I was keen to read this one. He equally quotes Rumi and Garth Brooks! Of course, there's a lot in here that has already been said each chapter is a bit repetitious. but I found his perspective and self-recrimination to be more entertaining and approachable than other self-help books. It's also filled with stories and fables which every southerner loves!
I appreciated his guidance to work on mental fitness as much as physical fitness and get a good support community. I also liked his idea of the tip jackpot. I enjoy tipping well, but this seems like even more fun!
This is a G-PG rated book with descriptions of alcohol use and suicide. It would be a good book for any father or anyone that has had a father (a small bit of the book discusses healing from physical and mental abuse.)

This book provides an amazing vision of social mobility and a route-map to achieving it. It examines how the term 'social mobility' structures what success means and the impact that has on society. It recasts the relationship with employers and covers progress in non-work areas of life.
I vively recommended!
