What does ‘Success’ mean to you?
Blending history, behavioural science and a rich tapestry of interviews, Irish author Adrian Kelly explores this age-old question in a new light. Once a struggling student who languished at the bottom of his class, Adrian knows first-hand the sting of failure.
Now, three decades later, he brings his experience as a solicitor, entrepreneur and sports coach to challenge common misconceptions about the core skills vital to overcoming challenge, with examples from Napoleon to the movie and sports stars of today. He examines how even the brightest and best can lose their way when it comes to the application of those skills. Finally, in a universe of ever-increasing opportunities, this is an invitation to consider what the most important things to accomplish in your life really are – they might not be what you think.
Provocative and practical, The Success Complex creates a template for a new understanding of the pursuit of success that truly fulfils.
Adrian Kelly: ‘A pursuit, not just of sustained success, but of a success that sustains you.’

An exceptional guide to personal and professional success. Adrian Kelly’s brilliant use of reference materials, combined with the rich, relatable anecdotes, creates a compelling narrative that both educates and inspires - Amazon 5*
Whether you want to take some performance learning lessons to apply to your own life, or just want to better understand the psychology of decision making behind so much of what happens in the world around us, it is all there and delivered in a really enjoyable and stimulating manner - Amazon 5*
I really enjoyed this journey through history, modern culture, sports, celebrity life and the psychology that pulls them all together. I loved the no-nonsense, informative, pleasing and well-constructed language. - Amazon 5
Great book. Not a lot of success mumbo-jumbo like other books of this type. There is a lot of really good information in this book that can really be put to the test. - NetGalley
