Success from the Inside Out: Power to Rise from the Past to a Fulfilling Future

Written by Nona Jones and Christine Caine

Narrated by Nona Jones

Join corporate executive and leadership speaker Nona Jones as she takes you on a personal journey of healing from the past so you can move forward with freedom and hope.

Many of us aspire to achieve status, wealth, and notability in the hopes that those things will erase the pain of our past. But for those who have experienced trauma, like Nona Jones, success requires more than a changed mindset--it requires repairing a broken spirit.

Nona was appointed to an executive role with a Fortune 100 company at only 23 years old. Since then, she has led award-winning initiatives in public affairs, brokered multimillion-dollar business deals, addressed the United Nations, and championed juvenile justice and education policy reform in the halls of Congress--all before she turned 35.

Then, in one of the biggest wake-up calls of her life, Nona realized that her past battles were waging a present war. Though she tried to push away the memories, her childhood trauma continued to affect her emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and physically--until she made a pivotal decision.

Success from the Inside Out charts the course of Nona's breakthrough--a course that can also lead you out of the storms of your past or present. Through her own remarkable story and insights, Nona helps you:

• Claim victory at the place where the defeat happened
• Recognize ways you use work to cover up inward brokenness
• Still the voices in your head that say you aren't good enough
• Choose fulfilling success instead of empty success
• Map your mile-markers toward your biggest goals
• Push through brokenness into a breakthrough

Reviews for Success from the Inside Out

[Charline · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing book! I recently found out about Nona Jones vía Instagram and saw the ad about her book. Decided to take a leap into it, as a college student who is in self-Quarantine at the moment, I said why not. I found her through a mutual credible friend. So many gems in this book, I would read it again and again. This woman is speaking from her PERSONAL LIFE STORY, hence she knows what she is talking about. I love it. Thank you so much for sharing the truth and the Ups and downs of life, success, and perseverance to turn pain into purpose. Trauma into healing. Much needed. Thank you!

Wow!

That sums up how I felt listening to Nona. I learn by watching others. This book reinforced for me that my relationship with God is the foundation on which my life is built.

Her practical illustrations of how she discerned God's will at different times in her life's journey are very helpful.
