Crazy Success

あらすじ
Ken Verheyen knows the trappings of worldly success. He's the CEO of Astro Pak, a profitable middle-market company that allows him and his family to live in upscale Newport Beach, California, sail aboard a sleek yacht, and travel the world-before the pandemic. He understands why he's treated deferentially in business and social settings. But ever since Ken began working at a company co-founded by his father, God impressed upon his heart to take a different route toward what the world calls "success." Instead of seeking the corner office where the CEO reigned, Ken felt the Lord telling him to make Matthew 6:33-"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and everything will be added unto you"-his life verse. Once Ken realigned his way of looking at life and doing business through the lens of being kingdom-centric, God gave him five more life verses. In Crazy Success, Ken shares his "Super Six" and how true success in life has nothing to do with accumulating wealth or position but is all about living how God tells us how to live. He also gives you the tools to abandon the world's teaching on seeking wealth and status and instead live in a way that creates a type of success here on earth that will follow you into eternity. If you're looking to align your hopes, dreams, and goals with God's top priorities, then start your search for crazy success today.
作品考察・見どころ
本書は、富と名声という俗世の頂を極めた実業家が、真の充足を求めて魂の羅針盤を再設定するまでの壮絶な変革の記録です。単なるビジネス啓発本の枠を超え、カリフォルニアの華やかな生活の裏側で、聖書の言葉を武器にいかに内なる野心と信仰を調和させたのか。その葛藤と覚醒のプロセスこそが、本作が放つ文学的な輝きであり、最大の魅力と言えるでしょう。 マタイによる福音書を起点とした指針は、読者に既存の成功観を根底から覆す強烈な問いを投げかけます。一過性の富ではなく、永遠に価値を持ち続ける生き方とは何か。著者の実体験に裏打ちされた情熱的な言葉は、地位や財産の蓄積に疲弊した現代人の心に、真の成功へと踏み出す圧倒的な勇気を与えてくれるはずです。
