R Verdict: For the reader who is committed to changing his or her life and getting rid of self-defeating behaviors, THE JETSTREAM OF SUCCESS offers no-holds-barred strategies for achieving self-discovery, self-fulfillment and lifetime success.
Full Review: THE JETSTREAM OF SUCCESS is a motivational book that tells the story of the author Julian Pencilliah’s journey around the world, and he reveals how his travels inspired him to see life in a whole new, far more exhilarating way. The author’s enthusiasm for his subject is contagious as he describes his adventures at to-die-for experiences like being at Richard Branson’s ranch in South Africa, the red carpet at the Oscars and the Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco.
Pencilliah leads by example and encourages readers to face their fears the way he does. For instance, at one time, he had a fear of sharks, so he addressed his fear head-on and went shark-diving in Cape Town. His advice on keeping a diary and using the five philosophies required for success is priceless as are his insights on using one’s own intelligence to figure out what’s required to achieve progress and to become the instrument of one’s intention.
Readers will find a lot of inspiration in THE JETSTREAM OF SUCCESS because the book is filled with motivational quotes, such as “We are on the stage of life every day, as you are the star of the show,” “Super achievers take consistent action that is disciplined, intelligent and focused” and “Super achievers are those who taught themselves to jump from one reality to another. The leap is everything; IT’S WHERE THEIR GENIUS LIES.”
THE JETSTREAM OF SUCCESS is filled with photographs (be sure to catch the one with the author and Sir Richard Branson), colorful illustrations and quotes to remember and the book’s layout makes it easy to read.
For the reader who is committed to changing his or her life and getting rid of self-defeating behaviors, THE JETSTREAM OF SUCCESS offers no-holds-barred strategies for achieving self-discovery, self-fulfillment and lifetime success.

The Jetstream of Success is a self-help book written by Julian Pencilliah in which he uses moments from his own life and allegory as a framework upon which he outlines his philosophy on how to live life more successfully.
The moments he describes are very memorable such as watching a leopard hunt at Sir Richard Branson’s ranch in South Africa or dancing at the Rio Carnival in Brazil but what’s more memorable are the things he says. For example I liked how he talked about how he confronted his fear of sharks by diving with a Great White off the coast of South Africa and then used that story to talk about fear and how to manage it in all its forms.
What separates The Jetstream of Success from other self-help, personal development and professional development books on the market is that its wisdom is timeless. Rather than focusing on one specific area of your life or providing answers to specific problems, Julian has decided to teach a set of intellectual principles that can be applied to a diverse range of situations. For instance he talks about failure and instead of telling you how to avoid it he casts it in new light by revealing that people don’t fail, they merely employed a strategy not suited for their desired objective. Using this mindset you can avoid becoming disheartened when you hit setbacks and simply adjust your strategy based upon your experiences.
There is one downside to the book and that is I found reading it was a bit of a challenge. It’s written in a deep, rich style which means at time occasionally you have to stop and reread a sentence to get the full meaning. That’s not such a bad thing as on the second time of reading you pick up so much more. As you can tell I enjoyed reading The Jetstream of Success and I fully expect I will reread it many times in the years to come.
