Summary
In Success from the Inside Out， corporate executive and leadership speaker Nona Jones takes you on a personal journey to discovering the difference between success that empties， and success that fills。
Many of us aspire to achieve position， wealth， and notability in the hopes that those things will erase the pain of the past。 But for those like Nona Jones who have experienced trauma， success requires more than a changed mindset--it requires repairing a broken spirit。
Nona was appointed to an executive role with a Fortune 100 company at only 23 years old。 Since then， she has led award-winning initiatives in public affairs， brokered multi-million dollar business deals， addressed the United Nations， and championed juvenile justice and education policy reform in the halls of Congress--all under the age of 35。
Then in one of the largest wake-up moments of her life， Nona realized that her past battles were waging a present war。 Though she tried to push away the memories， her childhood trauma continued to affect her emotionally， spiritually， mentally， and physically--until she made a pivotal decision。
Success from the Inside Out charts the course of Nona's breakthrough--a course that can also lead you out of the storms of your past or present。 Through her own remarkable story and insights， Nona helps you:
Claim victory at the place where the defeat happened
Recognize ways you use work to cover up inward brokenness
Still the voices in your head that say you aren't good enough
Choose not just empty success but fulfilling success
Map your mile-markers toward your biggest goals
Push through from brokenness to breakthrough
As Nona writes， "I've discovered that the only thing stronger than the power trauma has to change you is the power you reclaim when you acknowledge its effect on you。" Success from the Inside Out is an empowering guide to finding healing from the past so you can move with freedom and hope into the future。

Excellent book！Well done Nona， for not allowing the trauma of your past to limit your achievements。 Success from the inside out reminds me that although we may look at the outward appearance of individuals， God looks at their heart。

I am moved by Nona’s candour about her history of sexual trauma， physical and emotional abuse， and her ultimate road to healing and success。 She shares her experience of finding God’s grace and how He has guided her throughout her life。 An amazing testimony of God’s power to change a broken life。

Inspiring！ Jones uses her own heart-breaking story to inspire others to overcome their past and become successful， as well as defining what true success is。 Her spiritual journey is at the center of her success， as it should be。 Highly recommended。

Wow！ That about sums up how this book affected me。 Her story is heartbreaking but also shows how to triumph over circumstances that are thrust upon you。 I identify a lot with this book and am encouraged that life can be much sweeter in the end than the bitter beginnings。

An absolutely brilliant book which has been wonderfully written。 It has been written with pain and honesty， yet not written with any resentment- a trait that can only come from God。A successful lady who does not shy away from admitting she has been successful - but gives God the glory。I was literally reading about Nona’s leap of faith when she resigned from her job with no other job on the table， when an email pinged on my phone with a bill I’m not sure our new business can afford。 It made me pr An absolutely brilliant book which has been wonderfully written。 It has been written with pain and honesty， yet not written with any resentment- a trait that can only come from God。A successful lady who does not shy away from admitting she has been successful - but gives God the glory。I was literally reading about Nona’s leap of faith when she resigned from her job with no other job on the table， when an email pinged on my phone with a bill I’m not sure our new business can afford。 It made me pray。 Committing it to God just like Nona done。I really enjoyed this。 Examples of other successful people scattered throughout as well as scripture。 Beautiful - thank you Nona！ 。。。more

Got to see this amazing woman speak on her book tour and got a signed copy of her book。 Even got to hug her 💗Her book is incredible and shows you the way to take trauma， ego， and your past to find God’s glory。 What’s keeping you from realizing his purpose？ What plan needs to be in place？ She’s going to help you and I loved her book！

Loved getting to know Nona through her story。 So many female Christian authors are hard for me to connect to as I work in a professional role。 We need more women of this caliber in leadership！ I'm inspired all over again to serve through my work。 Loved getting to know Nona through her story。 So many female Christian authors are hard for me to connect to as I work in a professional role。 We need more women of this caliber in leadership！ I'm inspired all over again to serve through my work。 。。。more

Nona's story will stretch you。 She's been through quite a bit and achieved great success， but it all came with a high price tag。 She's an inspiration。 Her story hurts in places and she's very transparent。 At the same time， her life challenges you to make the most of your circumstances and to make a positive difference in response to everything that happens。 This book will get your attention in every area where you might think of yourself as a victim。 Highly recommended。 Nona's story will stretch you。 She's been through quite a bit and achieved great success， but it all came with a high price tag。 She's an inspiration。 Her story hurts in places and she's very transparent。 At the same time， her life challenges you to make the most of your circumstances and to make a positive difference in response to everything that happens。 This book will get your attention in every area where you might think of yourself as a victim。 Highly recommended。 。。。more

In this book， Nona demonstrates how past trauma affects our professional success emotionally， spiritually， and physically。 Reading this was like going to therapy sessions in a book。 There were quite a few times where I had a me too moment with Nona。 The book was so well written and narrated that I felt like she was speaking directly to me。 Nona uses her writing to help us discover the difference between success that empties and success that fills you as you claim for yourself: Success from the I In this book， Nona demonstrates how past trauma affects our professional success emotionally， spiritually， and physically。 Reading this was like going to therapy sessions in a book。 There were quite a few times where I had a me too moment with Nona。 The book was so well written and narrated that I felt like she was speaking directly to me。 Nona uses her writing to help us discover the difference between success that empties and success that fills you as you claim for yourself: Success from the Inside Out"。 。。。more

What a fantastic read/listen！ I listened to Nona’s interview on Jamie Ivey’s happy hour podcast and knew I had to read her book。 She’s raw， honest and vulnerable about her story and journey towards leaning on God。 I listened to the audiobook version and was pleasantly surprised that she’s an engaging storyteller and narrator。 It was well-written and thoughtful。 I kept thinking， “me too，” and felt like this was the first time I heard someone tell a story so similar to my own。 Thank you for helpin What a fantastic read/listen！ I listened to Nona’s interview on Jamie Ivey’s happy hour podcast and knew I had to read her book。 She’s raw， honest and vulnerable about her story and journey towards leaning on God。 I listened to the audiobook version and was pleasantly surprised that she’s an engaging storyteller and narrator。 It was well-written and thoughtful。 I kept thinking， “me too，” and felt like this was the first time I heard someone tell a story so similar to my own。 Thank you for helping me feel less alone， Nona！ I feel more empowered to lean on God and share my own story with those I trust。 It was a great read。 Note: I do think that everyone should understand the reality and prevalence of abuse。 That said， this book may be a bit uncomfortable for those who have never experienced abuse or toxic relationships。 It could also be a potentially triggering for those who have experienced abuse or sexual assault。 That said， I thoroughly enjoyed the read and felt more empowered after reading this！ Definitely recommending this！ 。。。more

What was all the hype about this woman named Nona Jones？ I was curious， as I kept seeing her name and face in the media。 I think I understand now。 Not what I expected from a "how-to-be-successful" book - and I've read my share of them。 She shares wisdom beyond her age。 I purchased this book without looking at any reviews， just hoping I'd like it。 I don't usually do that。 I'm so glad I didn't put it back on the shelf！ What was all the hype about this woman named Nona Jones？ I was curious， as I kept seeing her name and face in the media。 I think I understand now。 Not what I expected from a "how-to-be-successful" book - and I've read my share of them。 She shares wisdom beyond her age。 I purchased this book without looking at any reviews， just hoping I'd like it。 I don't usually do that。 I'm so glad I didn't put it back on the shelf！ 。。。more
