How to be SuccesSoul®

A book and creative philosophy by Vicky Paul

How to be SuccesSoul is a book and creative philosophy exploring what it means to reconnect with yourself beyond external definitions of success.

Written by contemporary artist Vicky Paul, it reflects on identity, intuition and creative alignment through lived experience, storytelling and reflection.

This work sits alongside Vicky’s artistic practice, informing her approach to portraiture, abstraction and the exploration of presence within her paintings.

About the book

How to be SuccesSoul was written during a period of transition, where questions of identity, purpose and creative direction began to reshape Vicky’s practice.

Rather than offering instruction, it explores the internal shift that occurs when external definitions of success are no longer enough.

The book combines narrative reflection with lived experience, bridging personal development and creative practice.

How to be SuccesSoul Podcast

Vicky produced and presented How to be SuccesSoul Podcast, a series of conversations exploring creativity, identity and lived experience.

Featuring guests from the arts, wellbeing and creative industries, the podcast ran alongside Vicky’s broader creative practice, offering space for dialogue around change, purpose and expression.

Context within practice

This work exists alongside Vicky Paul’s contemporary art practice, which focuses on identity, presence and emotional narrative through painting.

While distinct in medium, both written and visual work explore a shared interest in transformation and perception.
