Summary

King had a difficult childhood. His family faced financial instability and he lost his father at a young age. These struggles were the catalyst for his personal journey of transformation, leading him to self-knowledge. King encourages readers to similarly embrace their authentic selves while continuously striving to grow.

In college, King discovered Rhonda Byrne’s self-help book The Secret. According to Byrne’s Law of Attraction, thoughts and intentions manifest reality. After successfully manifesting a tax refund, King certified his belief in the Law. However, a failed group project made King realize that positive thinking alone was insufficient.
