The Success Principles: How to get from where you are to where you want to be

Description

The Success Principles: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Jack Canfield is one of the most comprehensive, practical, and enduring personal development books ever written. Published by Thorsons in 2025 in a landmark 20th Anniversary Edition, this extensively updated and expanded 640-page masterpiece continues to stand as the definitive roadmap for anyone serious about creating a life of extraordinary achievement, purpose, and fulfilment.

Jack Canfield, co-creator of the globally beloved Chicken Soup for the Soul series and one of the world’s most respected success coaches, has spent decades studying, teaching, and living the principles that drive outstanding human achievement. In The Success Principles, he distils that lifetime of wisdom into 64 powerful, actionable principles that cover every dimension of a successful life — from mindset and goal-setting to relationships, career, finances, health, and contribution.

The book opens with the foundational principle that underpins everything else — taking 100% responsibility for your life. From that bedrock of personal accountability, Canfield builds a rich and comprehensive framework that guides readers step by step from wherever they currently are to wherever they truly want to be. Each principle is presented with clarity, supported by real-life stories of transformation, and accompanied by practical exercises that make the insights immediately applicable.

This 20th Anniversary Edition has been thoughtfully updated to address the realities of the modern world, incorporating new material on digital entrepreneurship, social media, mindfulness, and the evolving landscape of work and success. It also features new interviews and stories from individuals who have used these principles to overcome extraordinary obstacles and achieve remarkable results.

What sets The Success Principles apart from countless other self-help books is its extraordinary breadth and depth. It does not offer quick fixes or empty motivation — instead, it provides a serious, structured, and deeply proven system for lasting transformation. Whether you are just beginning your journey or looking to break through to the next level, this book offers the guidance, tools, and inspiration to make it happen.

A true classic of personal development literature, The Success Principles 20th Anniversary Edition is an essential addition to every personal library and a gift that has the power to genuinely change lives.
