This comprehensive book delves into the intricate rules of long-term professional success, drawing upon an extensive international study. The study reveals that success, above all, revolves around achieving a harmonious blend of happiness and satisfaction, coupled with economic independence. However, the data also indicate that the definition of success varies widely among individuals. Furthermore, it becomes evident that success is not an absolute quality but rather a subjective perception influenced by comparison with a peer group. The author contends that while certain success factors may exist, they are fewer in number than one might assume. Nevertheless, when examining the lives of truly successful individuals, it becomes apparent that success primarily stems from their ability to overcome setbacks, failure, and crises. This remarkable resilience is a crucial trait that is explored in greater detail using the FiRE model (Factors improving Resilience Effectiveness). Developed by the author over years of extensive research, this model stands out for its holistic approach, encompassing diverse disciplines such as biology, medicine, brain research, epigenetics, sociology, psycho-neuro-immunology, and more. By integrating these diverse perspectives, the FiRE model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and developing resilience, a vital component for achieving long-term professional success.
