I highly recommend the book for its insightful exploration of practical philosophies, offering valuable perspectives that can be applied to everyday life. The author skillfully combines depth of thought with practicality, making it accessible for readers seeking meaningful guidance. Less

I'm the leader of a non-profit organization and I found so much value in this book that we held a presentation on it for our membership. The members found it engaging and instructive. Great material for firing up your group with enlightening and useful material to help them (and your organization) grow into being their best selves.This book melds the realms of entrepreneurship, philosophy, and psychology to demonstrate how life as a business owner is not so far from our capabilities as society may condition us to believe. It's filled with practical, actionable strategies to help a person overcome self-imposed barriers on the path of reaching one's goals. The book explores fundamental components that shape our perception of reality, really helping a person understand how one's views on themselves and the world around them shape their reality. Highly recommended read. Less

As a business owner this book illustrates exactly what we go through. It provides a fresh perspective on the challenges and realities an entrepreneur experiences. I especially love the take on how we’re conditioned to have certain views on money, our work, and our relationships, and how those views can work against us in the long run. This is truly a holistic approach to entrepreneurship, one thats highly needed in the society we live in today. Less

When reading Wired for Success: Practical Philosophies to Master Entrepreneurship & Live Life on Your Terms by Edmond Abramyan, I discovered many truths as well as things that I had programed myself to believe. It is not just a book on how to be an entrepreneur, to succeed in business, but one that will help you delve into the realm of who you really are and what has made you. It will help you to go inward so you can heal, grow, and become successful at what will ultimately make you happy.I found things to help me let go of much that I had either programmed myself or as a child had been programed to believe of myself, where each year that I lived I added to that programming. Yet, you can reprogram yourself to be so much more than you could ever believe possible, find happiness and the success you want and what success means to you.Instead of being hampered by old programming you can grow to be the person you are in your heart, mind, and soul.I found this a very important work to read, and it is so much more than a self-help or a how to get rich book, it shows a path to a better, happier life, and yes healthier life. For one can discover those things that have held you in the belief of depression, illness, poverty (whether it be financially or of your mind.)It is well written and thought provoking.Highly Recommended. Less

Wired for Success is without argument one of the best personal development books that I have read, and I have read more than quite a few! Even though a good number of the philosophies that Edmond speaks about in his book are covered by others, Edmond goes deeper and breaks them down in a very practical and simple way. He then goes further to apply them to modern circumstances and business applications.I highly recommend this book to anyone who is already or is just think about getting on the path of entrepreneurship. It's also for anyone who prefers to be their own leaders and think outside of the paradigm that has been setup for us. Less

LibraryThing Early Reviewer CopyMan, oh, man! I was pleasantly surprised by this book! I don't think I have highlighted so many passages in a book before! This is one of those books that you should just read over and over again. Why? Because much of what he talks about in the book is not new thinking, but how he presents it is straightforward and makes it easy to revisit. Backed by quotes and stories from long-gone philosophers to modern-day gurus, the information makes you feel like you are not alone in these emotional struggles. It supports the idea that all these personal strives are most certainly connected to your entrepreneurial spirit. This aspect of the book is greatly appreciated. In the past, I have blamed my business troubles on "not being a business person." When in fact, many of these struggles can be improved by self-actualization! I highly recommend this book to anyone feeling stuck in their business. Sometimes the solution is not always what you think it may be. Less

Wonderful read on the psyche and mindset of entrepreneurship and how to succeed as one. However, I would add, the book is really a self help book for anyone ambitious and driven, regardless if they own a business or not. Looking forward to more work by this author. Less

I don't read many books but have been following Edmond on social media. So when I saw that he had written a book, I had to check it out... and I'm glad I did!Wired for Success has truly been a life changer for me. It showed me so much in terms of how certain beliefs I had (that I thought were completely logical and actually mine!) were not really mine and were actually holding me back from all the things I want in life. It helped me understand how I could be conditioned to believe certain things and overall how my mind works.My biggest takeaway was how my perspective on myself, money, business, and the world around me can completely shape my beliefs and behavior, and really the results I get in my life.I highly recommend this book because of how clear everything is and how the examples and stories really help you understand the points made. Less

I have done a lot of inner work in my history - in conjunction with my artistic and entrepreneurial pursuits.I was surprised and delighted how many wise nuggets I picked up reading Wired for Success!This book beautifully combines philosophy - Eastern & Western, science, clarifies & deepens many “self-help” tropes I’ve come across.It is deeply thoughtful & highly practical.Thank you! Less

What a great book! I really enjoyed the different points of view this book provides on not just entrepreneurship but also life in general. Abramyan dives into the depths of human psychology and the existential problems we all face. Not just that, but he provides a roadmap on what it takes to be successful in business.One of the biggest lessons I got from this book is my power to choose: the power to choose what things mean to me and how that impacts my reactions. It opened my eyes to many ways I’ve working against myself in my own life. Each chapter is filled with gold. I see this as one of those books to revisit again and again at different stages of my life.Truly a must read for anyone who wishes to acquire and improve a “growth mindset”. Less

I have read many self help books, and it’s on rare occasion when I really connect with one. Once I got this book in my hands I started reading, and from that moment on, I knew I loved it! The author, Edmond, has done such a great job sharing his experiences in life that you cannot help but feel connected to the book. Wired for success is truly transformational and empowering. This is definitely one of those reads I would be able to recommend to anyone. Less

I really enjoyed reading this book and the different perspectives it offers about success and the human mind. Definitely stands out from other self-improvement books with its easy-to-read approach, and the clever blend of mind-matter phenomena. As a hypnotherapist, I appreciate how he made it simple and easy to understand for someone who may not be as familiar with the unconscious mind’s direct effects on our success, day-to-day life, and decision making.I definitely recommend this book to everyone who feels stuck and can’t see the steps towards their dream life. With Abramyan’s personal experiences and most importantly his own story, you are guaranteed to find the inspiration you need! Less

Great book. Wud recommend to everyone. The book was very insightful. I used what I learned from the book on my new business and so far it’s going great. Thx. Great job Less

Edmond provides an insightful journey into the world of entrepreneurship, philosophy, and life goals. He ties them together as the core of human existence. Who we are and what we manifest is a direct correlation between what we think we ought to do and what we actually do, and why. Also, our life experiences come with many challenges and our continued success is based on how we act towards these challenges. I will come back to this book often to reread for encouragement and motivation. I also enjoyed the quotes along the way! I highly recommend this book! Less

A must read for anyone on the path to self-improvement! Particularly impactful to those of us in need of a tune up, a rewiring of our methodology to life. The title and subtitles are spot on and are a precise prelude of the coming pages. Edmond Abramyan brings a refreshing amount of personal real world experience and struggles that are honestly and openly expressed. You hear of these people that came from nothing and made it. Then, you discover that he borrowed the first million from his dad to start the company. What a gift to be able to study and learn from a warrior who came to self-actualization out of the abyss and from what would otherwise have been a meager continuation on the hamster wheel.These chapters contain universal truths and practices that have aided growth for millennia. Edmond also references struggles, behavioral patterns and mechanisms that the greatest minds exercised to conquer themselves. Unique to this book is Abramyan’s clever approach to the positive thinking arena, i.e. a delicate dissection and sober analysis of the human machine.Simply brilliant! A well thought out, dazzlingly written road map to unlocking your full potential. My small team will each get a copy, as their success is ultimately my success. I have a feeling the world will benefit from and be asking for much more from Edmond Abramyan. Less

Edmond has achieved a remarkable feat by reaching into the depths of eastern spiritual wisdom and synthesizing it with the western focus on success and business. The level of depth is astounding and it is not a book you can simply read once and forget. To get the most out of it requires multiple reads where each time you put into practice more and more of the principles, guidelines, and mindsets that are thoroughly laid out and described. I love the numerous references to many different notable people of humanity's history and present. Lao Tzu, Carl Jung, Alan Watts, Plato, Bruce Lee, Albert Einstein, and many many more.The book focuses heavily on mindset to not only succeed in business but to be a happy and joyous person. After all, there's little point in success if you're still miserable in the end. Not only is your success driven by your mindset, but the ability to enjoy and truly reap the rewards of what you achieve.However instead of the typical trite things like positive thinking, it at the core relies on the truths of our existence as is best described by eastern spiritual teachings. The emphasis is more on Zen Buddhism and Taoist thought, but it is not limited to just that. The way Edmond ties in wisdom with analogies and comparisons for western readers is brilliant and really helps deliver a much deeper level of understanding. The quotes are very well selected and the parables even more so. They greatly help in understanding what he is trying to convey and receive the information on a level beyond just intellectual thought.I was most surprised by the level of depth and attention given to the emotional aspects of man. I find this is often avoided by many authors as the topics are more tricky and difficult to talk about and offer techniques for progress. There is no filler and no fluff, nothing that can be cut out without losing something vital.Spirituality is often dismissed in the west. Ultimately however it is a crucial part of not only self development and actualization, but for living a happy and successful life no matter what path you take. This book will not be a fast read for most, but it is not overly technical or unnecessarily complex either keeping it very approachable and friendly.While this book is a bit more focused on entrepreneurs, it is relevant to everyone involved with day to day activities that wishes to achieve something during their life. The majority of the book is applicable to people of all walks of life, at all stages in life. I cannot recommend this book enough and am already on my second read through! It has already changed how I see myself, others, and existence for the better and I am excited for what will come next. Less

Very well written book. The book talks about and describes different philosophical aspects and perspectives. I will re-read it to keep my thoughts balanced and continue my self improvement. Less

The author connects philosophies to entrepreneurship and succeeds at differentiating concepts that may help unlock what is keeping one stuck in a loop! This book was easy to read yet jammed with golden nuggets, which will require me to go back and re-read particular chapters.The author was very relatable in his writing, which made it easy to connect!This will be a book I will reference back to! Less

The author utilizes principles from Eastern and Westen philosophy to discuss how to be successful.He also mentions tidbits about the lives and challenges of successful people.How we interpret a situation is often more important than the situation itself.He encourages the reader to monitor thoughts and behaviors to ensure they support the habit you want to create and help to move you in the direction you want to go.This is not a fast read. It's best savored and I expect to come back to it for reference when situations arise that remind me of something I've read here. Less

What a "deep dive" into how our minds can work FOR or AGAINST us when it comes to our professional and personal success. I appreciated the author's stories and examples, helping me better understand the complex processes going on inside my brain. I really like the idea of "choosing what experiences mean to us." If you're feeling stuck and want to break free from from the mental or emotional baggage that's been holding you back, read this book! Less
