Success is happiness. Women need to celebrate the choices of other women. Achieving extraordinary requires belief in yourself (beyond reason) and includes a focus on passion, positivity, people, perseverance, and productivity.
Jessica DiLullo Herrin, in Find Your Extraordinary: Dream Bigger, Live Happier, and Achieve Success on Your Own Terms shows people—mainly women—the qualities that are necessary to shed a life of ordinary and become extraordinary on their own terms.
DiLullo asks her readers to discover what matters most to them and then she show them, with inspiring examples from her own success story and others, how to achieve a life full of what matters most to us. The book is split into easily digested sections, and the stories and quotes that DiLullo includes in her writing offer relativity and motivation.
DiLullo’s advice is reasonable and encouraging, and is best summed up by this quote that is cited at the beginning of chapter 3: “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead, pursue the things you love doing, and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off you.” –Maya Angelou
