REVIEWED BY PHILLIP CHIDAVAENZI

EPI Mabika, a vocational strategist, motivational speaker, lifestyle coach and entrepreneur, has just published a success manual titled Success Gravity: 7 Keys to Unlock Your Dream Lifestyle, which will be launched in Harare on December 20.

The UK-based motivational speaker’s passion to inspire better habits for success in people’s lives comes out strongly in this 152-page well–designed book whose quality speaks to the author’s purpose.

The book is broken down into seven chapters, with each one specifically dedicated to a specific issue.

The issues dealt with here include goals, relationships, attitude, vision, integrity, time management and your own contribution as a reader.

Mabika’s decade–long experience in dealing with success motivation illuminates the book, making it a must–have for anyone who desires to succeed in all their endeavours.

What makes this book a very important contribution to the ever–growing motivation literary genre in Zimbabwe is that it goes a step further beyond the “sermon” and provides the reader an opportunity to exercise what they would have learnt.

Every chapter gives the reader an opportunity to reflect on the nuggets of wisdom before going a step further to apply the knowledge acquired.

The multiple award–winning speaker, who is a member and former Vice-President of Toastmasters International — Grosvenor Square Speakers in London, demonstrates how the seven keys — goals, relationships, attitude, vision, integrity, time management and personal contribution — should all be seamlessly blended together if one is to succeed.

Mabika can as well be called an authority in this area, if indeed experience is the best teacher, as she says: “Having applied these principles myself and seen phenomenal results, I have realised the importance of condensing truths that I have discovered into a book that will serve you well and shorten the learning curve for your success” (ppXIII).

The book brings together separate life strands — frustration with life, meaningless existence and the woes emanating from economic recession — and weaves them together into a beautiful tapestry that can inspire anyone to a better, more fulfilling life.

Mabika takes the reader on a step–by–step journey of purposive discovery through the seven keys, demonstrating how a simple success formula can turn around anyone’s life.

This is one book that those bent on success cannot afford to ignore, as it just be the torch they need to light their path.
