The Success Complex: Ancient wisdom, the building blocks of life and your path to sustained success

What does success mean to you?

Blending history, behavioural science and a rich tapestry of interviews, Adrian Kelly explores this age-old question in a new light. Once a struggling student who languished at the bottom of his class, Adrian knows first-hand the sting of failure.

Now, three decades later, he brings his experience as a solicitor, entrepreneur and sports coach to challenge common misconceptions about the core skills vital to overcoming challenge, with examples from Napoleon to the movie and sports stars of today. He examines how even the brightest and best can lose their way when it comes to the application of those skills. Finally, in a universe of ever-increasing opportunities, this is an invitation to consider what the most important things to accomplish in your life really are they might not be what you think.

Provocative and practical, The Success Complex creates a template for a new understanding of the pursuit of success that truly fulfils.

Adrian Kelly knows what it is to fail at things. One of the poorest students in his final year at school, he finished in the bottom 5% of all students nationally sitting their final exams. Hes failed at sports, education, just about everything. Failure however, was only the start of his journey.
