Jimmy Roos has a life-changing secret, and with his new book ‘The Winning Code: How to Become a Winner in the Game of Life’, he uses his skills as a certified professional life coach to help you reach for success.
Non-fiction (or self-help books, no less) is not a route many choose to take, but Roos’ story is unbelievably relatable and well-worth telling.
Each chapter starts off with an interesting quote from celebrities all around the world, and in its entirety ‘The Winning Code’ touches on what it is and what it means to be a winner despite the circumstances.
Roos doesn’t hold back on his belief of the ‘law of attraction’ – a ‘rule’ in which we attract people, situations and objects which match our mental images.
So are you doing what is required of you to bring about a change in your life?
Most of the quotes and real-life examples are American, and although more African success stories would have been welcome, Roos asserts that the secret to success is universal and these particular principles apply to anyone and everyone. Will you really be able to recognise your failures through these examples and explanations?
The decision completely lies in your hands.
The title of the book, Roos explains, stems from a time when he felt defeated. Freak accidents kept happening, like a disturbing recurrence of events.
“I blamed curses and bewitchment, but when I looked across the gulf, others were living a charmed life. I kept asking myself why some struggled and others succeeded, but books opened my mind.”
And so too, Roos wants to open yours, especially if you are in a dark place in your life.
“Life is a game and there are rules. If you do not understand the game, you might fail. I want to give you the blueprint to where I am. You might even pass me.”
Could this book be the key to helping us survive corruption, suicides and passion killing? Do these words have the power to change your life and create a better tomorrow? Once again, it is up to the reader to interpret it.
‘The Winning Code’ makes a fantastic read for those moments in the quiet of the night when your thoughts have died down or during lunchtime when the office is half-empty – a great edition to any library. Grab your copy today at Book Den for N$200.
