PRAISE

“It’s rare to find such honest advice in such an accessible format. It shows us that sometimes, our motivation to succeed comes from a plea for others’ approval. Hard work and success should be viewed as a way to actualize ourselves, our spirit, our potential. This book will surely be a classic, because it rings a bell to every person in the room.”
—Jarod Anderson and T.L. Anderson, authors of Five Star Mentality

“What a fantastic, straightforward, and honest book. Congratulations, Queen! You wrote from the heart what everyone has experienced in their lives in one way or another. A very practical guidebook on how to REALLY live life after the glory (and at times, misery) of achievement.”
—Franky Ronaldy and Meow Ling Ng, authors of Life Sucks!

“So many people fail to realize that achievements are not the be-all and end-all of living. They’re missing out on a whole lot of things! Reading Queen’s heartfelt stories and key learning points will help anyone open their eyes, do something about their circumstances, and begin the business of real living.”
—Michelle Watson, author of Overcome and Rise Above

THE SUPER ACHIEVER’s SYNDROME cuts straight to the chase on what you need to do to move out of the cycle of meaningless success and step into an abundant, fulfilled life. This is a book that moves away from the glory of achievement, moving towards the real essence of living. An eye-opener!”
