Download or read book Diamond at Your Rock Bottom written by Bolu Oladini and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diamond at Your Rock Bottom: Turning Adversity into Triumph In this transformative debut, Dr. Bolu Oladini, a dynamic pharmaceutical executive and serial entrepreneur, extends a compelling invitation to young adults in their 20s and 30s. Drawing from a rich tapestry of wisdom that blends stoicism, Zen, modern psychology, and Christianity, Dr. Oladini guides readers through a comprehensive framework to use personal and professional adversity as stepping stones to self-transformation through post-traumatic growth. His unique approach encourages readers who have gone through traumatic experiences (“rock bottom”) to use the aftermath of the crisis to re-assess and re-create themselves into the best version of themselves (a “diamond”). Dr. Oladini employs the powerful metaphor of a diamond—crafted under pressure from rough coal—to illustrate the potential for beauty and success from life's hardest moments. This book will flip your perspective, revealing that rock bottom is not a pit of despair, but a launching pad for finding your true potential. The journey laid out in Diamond at Your Rock Bottom is not about merely surviving challenges, but transforming them into catalysts for profound personal growth. His unique model breaks down the path to post-traumatic growth. Dr. Oladini’s book takes readers on a journey with his methodical framework that includes insightful and often counterintuitive ideas in chapters discussing failure, acceptance, identity, values, habits, relationships, intuition, and courage. With a wide variety of stories and examples to drive home his points, Oladini shows us the common threads in people and companies who are able to overcome and transcend adversity. As he states in the first chapter, “The pressure that will form your diamond is your journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and spiritual awakening after reaching rock bottom.” Similar to how coal can turn into a diamond after undergoing thousands of pounds of pressure, this book is a guide to show the reader how to create and uncover their own diamond. Readers will leave with a sense of renewed hope, energy, and insight. Go to www.boluoladini.com today to find out more and get your copy. Dr. Bolu Oladini is a pharmacist by training and a pharmaceutical industry executive. He is also a serial entrepreneur with a profitable short-term rental business, a real estate syndication group, and a successful career coaching business. With his background in psychology and a life filled with overcoming personal challenges, Dr. Oladini is passionately equipped to inspire others to use their adversity as a catalyst for personal transformation. He, his wife, and their son reside in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, where he continues to share his journey and support others in crafting their own stories of success.
