Good Vibes, Good Life: How Self-Love Is the Key to Unlocking Your Greatness

Vex King’s difficult childhood was marked by trauma; challenges like housing instability contributed to his personal growth. He believes painful experiences offer valuable lessons: By focusing on positivity and self-improvement, we can use challenges as opportunities to become the best version of ourselves. King introduces the importance of self-love and authenticity, encouraging readers to stop seeking external validation and pursue self–acceptance while balancing kindness with assertiveness, especially when boundaries are disrespected.

King struggled financially during university, but chose not to ask his mother for help since she was also struggling. He carefully budgeted, but the pressure of academics led to discontent, while his inability to afford things like a group holiday with friends left him disillusioned. In a moment of despair, King discovered the Rhonda Byrne self-help book The Secret, which argues for something Byrnes calls the Law of Attraction—that positive thinking shapes reality. Inspired, King focused on manifesting £500 for the holiday. Miraculously, he received an £800 tax refund, enough to cover the holiday and more. This event solidified his belief in the Law of Attraction and marked a turning point in his life.
