From Publisher
For some people, success comes so easily. For others, it's always just "around the corner." Or so it seems. Why is success so much a part of some lives, and so noticeably absent from others? The answer is always the same. The names, faces, places, times and dates may be different, but in each case, the exact same SuperLaws of success are operating. What accounts for the differences is that some people use the laws to their advantage; other people ignore the laws, to their own detriment. James Ray knows far more people would enjoy much greater success if they knew (and believed) the SuperLaws and saw a way to use these principles themselves to better their own lives.
In this book, James A. Ray gives a proven step-by-step method of creating your own prosperity and true balance in life, based upon timeless laws and principles. With penetrating insights and straightforward concepts James gives you the tools necessary to tap into your own spiritual power center. A simple book that is by no means simplistic, combining fun stories and powerful anecdotes, The Science of Success give you the power and wisdom to create the life of your dreams.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us." - Oliver Wendell Holmes
I want to thank you for choosing to explore the Science of Success. It has grown directly out of my personal experiences, my studies, and my seventeen years as a coach, professional speaker, and consultant to such companies as IBM, Bell Canada, AT&T, Dow Chemical, Boeing Aircraft, RE/MAX, Nikken, Amway, and Herbalife. It has literally transformed my life, and I believe it is the most effective and profound personal development program available today.
I have always been fascinated by why people like Gandhi, Einstein, and Martin Luther King succeeded in life, while other people who may have been equally talented and hard working did not succeed. Why do some people always seem to win, to be "in the zone" while others do not?
My quest has been to find the principles that make people successful, so that we can all use them to become the people we are meant to be, to make our own unique contributions to the world, and to live the life of our dreams. I've spent two decades studying some of the most successful people in the world - people who were successful not only financially and in business, but in their personal, social, and spiritual lives. I read everything I could get my hands on, from ancient texts to contemporary philosophy, psychology, spirituality, and even quantum physics.
My gift is to be a synthesizer and a teacher. I have taken all this information and research, and looked at it in the light of successful people's lives and my own experience working with people. The Science of Success is the result. It lays out in a systematic, easy-to-follow way, the exact laws and principles that make people successful.
SUCCESS IS A SCIENCE
The principles in this program are nothing new. You have heard most of them before. What is unique about the Science of Success is that I have put this information together in a way that is understandable, and usable by everybody! The Science of Success makes universal principles of success available and practical. Anyone on Earth can apply this science, and it will make them successful every time.
That's because the Science of Success works with universal laws, laws as fundamental and unbending as the law of gravity. If you follow these laws, I guarantee that you will succeed - every time, and in whatever endeavor you undertake - just as surely as a pencil will fall down when you drop it, instead of up. People who win and succeed consistently use these laws and principles, whether or not they are aware of doing so. When you understand the Science of Success, you can choose to use them consciously. In doing so, you guarantee your success.
MY STORY
My interest in developing a Science of Success grew out of a life-changing event.
I didn't start out in a way that looked very successful. When I was growing up, I never dreamed that I would live in a beautiful house in La Jolla, California, with views of the Pacific Ocean. I couldn't have imagined being one of the most successful sales managers at AT&T, or working with organizational expert Stephen Covey, or founding a business as successful and fun as mine!
In 1963, I was a small six-year-old boy in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was excited, because it was my first day of kindergarten. Like most kids, I loved anything new. I was a risk-taker. I wanted to go new places and do new things. I wanted to meet new people, and find people who would love me. I had dreams. So I was thrilled to be starting kindergarten - but even on that first day, I began to realize something. I began to realize that I was different.
Remember the kid in your class who had big Coke bottle glasses and bucked teeth, the one everyone made fun of and pushed around? I was that kid. Young people can be cruel, even when they don't mean to be. They called me every name in the book, starting with "Four Eyes" and going all the way through "Bugs Bunny" As kids do, I took it very personally. I was hurt, and began to withdraw inside myself. My self esteem took a beating, and I began to ask myself, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I be like everybody else?"
When I got to fifth grade, everybody started going out for sports. Athletes were very popular, and I saw my chance! I went out for every sport - baseball, football, and basketball - but I was skinny, gangly, and uncoordinated. I failed at every one, and that convinced me even more that I was not very cool and not very lovable.
I grew taller as I got older, but it soon became apparent that I wasn't going to fill out much. In high school, I was 6" 1' and weighed 150 pounds. By then, girls had become very important - but I never had a date. Why? I never asked! Who would go out with me? I was the school nerd! In college, I continued the same pattern. No sports, no dates, no self esteem.
Then one Christmas, I got a free membership to a gym. I had always wanted to work out at a gym, but I'd never had the courage. I'd been afraid that people would make fun of me. But in my early twenties, I mustered up the courage to go to the gym and started working out.
An amazing change came over my body! I quickly went from a being a 150-pound weakling to being a 230-pound, strapping, well built young man. I got into the world of competitive body building and my body kept changing. Just as importantly, my self esteem began to grow. I started to apply myself more, and I became more successful in my career. I attracted a new circle of friends, and I even had a date once in awhile.
But it was funny. I still felt an emptiness inside me, as if something were missing. I would be on a date, and find myself thinking, "If she really knew who I was, she wouldn't give me the time of day." I'd think the same kind of thing about my new friends. "If they really knew me, they wouldn't have anything to do with me." Even though I looked great, and had new friends, and was dating, and even though I was succeeding in my job, I was still running from the 150-pound nobody I thought I was inside.
I began to work out twice a day for two hours, to run even faster from that 150-pound weakling. All my energy was focused on building my body. Everything I ate, drank, did, believed, and thought was designed to make me a better bodybuilder. I did very well in the competitions, but it was never enough. There came a time when my body stopped responding to all the workouts, and I made a decision. I started injecting myself with dangerous doses of anabolic steroids. And I continued to grow.
Then, in March of 1988, something happened that changed my life forever. On this particular day, I had just bought a brand new motorcycle. I remember thinking that it would bring me some more attention, and make me seem a little more cool. I jumped on the motorcycle that night and drove into downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Just as I was leaning into a hard right turn, I saw a set of headlights coming toward me.
I woke up in the Emergency Room in excruciating pain. Every bone in my left forearm was shattered, I had two herniated discs in my lower back, and both knees were blown out. Later, they told me that the sound of the head-on collision had awakened people a block away. For the next six weeks, I lay in the Intensive Care Unit. I quickly went from a 230-pound strapping young man to a 170-pound, frightened, insecure human being.
The doctors told me that I would never be what I had been. I would never be able to bench press because my arm wouldn't support the weight. I couldn't work my legs because my knees were gone. I would never again have the physique that I thought made me who I was. That may sound ridiculous - but at that point in time, I honestly believed that my physique was who I was. I went into the deepest depression you can imagine. I spent the next six months on disability, just lying on the couch and feeling sorry for myself. One morning I was lying on the couch watching TV, only not really watching, and a thought came into my mind. It was this: "Are you any different inside, with this body, than you were with the bodybuilder's body? Are your values and goals and dreams any different? Are you really a different person?"
At that moment, something changed. I saw that I was the same person that I'd always been, with the same character, and the same values, goals, and dreams. I started waking up to who I really was, and promised myself I would never again deny that. I would never again put myself in the position to define myself by externals.
I began to read, to explore what we truly are as human beings. I began to get clearer about who I really was. I read hundreds of books on psychology, personal development, philosophy, quantum physics, and religion. I began to think in different ways, and my results began to change. I felt better about myself, and I did better in all areas of my life - in my career, my relationships, my inner life, everything. I went to seminars, listened to tapes, and took in huge amounts of new information. I got multiple promotions at work, and became an upper-mid-level manager in a Fortune 500 company. I started earning a very handsome salary, and attracting new friends into my life who loved and supported me. They helped me grow.
When I was an upper-mid-level manager at AT&T, I left and started my own company. That was a stretch for me, and I was scared. But I did it anyway, and in the first year, my income tripled. I couldn't believe it!
What had happened? I had remembered who I was. That was the key to everything. I remembered that I was not my body. I realized that I was not my income, or the things I had accumulated. I was so much more than those things, and I devoted my life to finding out more and more about who we all are. I wanted to know not just who we were, but how we could live and enjoy life to the fullest. How can each of us here on Earth make the most of our lives? How can we succeed in whatever we undertake, so that we feel great about ourselves and about one another? How can we become the best that we can be, and succeed in whatever we do?
THE ANSWER
After decades of research and working with thousands of people to maximize their potential, here is the bottom line: We live in an orderly universe that is governed by distinct and definite laws. Whenever we succeed, we succeed because we are living in alignment with those laws. When we do not succeed, it's because we are not living in alignment with those laws. It's just that simple.
The Science of Success lays out these laws in a systematic, easy-to-understand way. It gives you principles to help you apply those laws in your life. Everything about the Science of Success is designed to put the secret power of the laws into your hands, so that you can live the life you dream of living.
There may be times when you don't understand exactly how the Science of Success works, just as you may not understand exactly how electricity works. You don't have to understand how electricity works in order to flip the switch and turn on a light. I promise that if you study and apply the principles in this book, you will "flip the switch" and you will succeed.
Discovering who I am, and how success happens, has made all the difference in my life. It has made getting up each morning a joy. I have the partner, the work, the house, and the life of my dreams because I live in harmony with universal laws.
My wish for you, and the purpose of this book, is that you have the same. God bless. (Introduction)
