You possess something no one else has.

You might not see yourself as particularly special in any way. But in Success is Within You: Creating Your Own Destiny, author Michael W. Jackson reveals that by reconnecting with your true inner self, you stop being a victim of circumstance.

Utilizing the creative power of your mind, you can transform yourself — and manifest your world as you envision it.

“The greatest and highest manifestation of you dwells within. Therein is the source of the success you hope to achieve.”

Where Have You Been All My Life?

Have you ever met someone who seems to check every box — a friend, or a partner for life — whose voice or message wraps you in the warmth of sunshine? Michael invites you to close your eyes, picture that person, then open them before a mirror and ask the question again. The one looking back could just as easily be you.

A meditation on self-love, individuality, and the courage to become the best YOU there will ever be.

A scientist with a poet's heart.

A chemist by training, a clinician by trade, and a writer by calling — Michael W. Jackson moves between the precision of the laboratory and the boundless terrain of the mind.

His educational background is in science — a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's degree in clinical science. Over the years he has worked as a chemist in quality control, then as an R&D scientist in aerospace. After completing his master's degree, he devoted his career to healthcare, and is presently a licensed clinical laboratory scientist in the state of California.

When he is not working, Michael enjoys music and playing the drums. His life passions are mathematics, computer programming, particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology — the languages, in his words, of the universe trying to know itself.

★★★★★

The book positions God as powerful and omnipresent. Its core advice is to work to clarify one's intentions before God, in order to allow God to manifest one's desires. Its examples are as varied as personal enrichment and fiscal wealth — among the infinite possibilities available.

Clarion Foreword Reviews

★★★★★

I came away feeling that Success Is Within You is less a conventional self-help book than a heartfelt call to spiritual agency. Its strongest passages are those that join aspiration to responsibility — reminding the reader that dreams require journaling, research, education, practice, adjustment, and continuous action. I admired the way Jackson returns again and again to beginnings: start where you are, ask the question, write the dream down, take the next step, give thanks, and begin again. This is a hopeful, reflective, and deeply encouraging book — a warm companion in clarifying your goals, strengthening self-belief, and approaching success as both an inner practice and an outward contribution.
