Fromm, E. (1970).  Man For Himself: An Inquiry Into the Psychology of Ethics.
"Since modern man experiences himself as both the seller and the commodity to be sold on the market, his self-esteem depends on conditions beyond his control. If he is 'successful,' he is valuable; if he is not, he is worthless." (p. 72)
Gladwell, M. (2008).  Outliers: The Story of Success. 199. Abstract
"My wish with Outliers is that it makes us understand how much of a group project success is. When outliers become outliers it is not just because of their own efforts. It's because of the contributions of lots of different people and lots of different circumstances, and that means we, as a society, have more control about who succeeds—and how many of us succeed—than we think."
Breathnach, S. B. (1998).  Something More : Excavating your Authentic Self.
"Authentic success is internal. Often other people aren't even aware at first that you've reached it. The moment of success is the awareness that 'I can do it' or 'I have done it.' And it's comforting to know that this can't be taken away from you by an external event. Not by someone divorcing you, not by someone firing you."
Heider, J. (1986).  The Tao of leadership: Lao Tzu's Tao te ching adapted for a new age.
"If you measure success in terms of praise and criticism, your anxiety will be endless." (p. 25)
