Success V’Simcha
Torah Wisdom. Contemporary Classics. A Successful and Joyful You.
About Me
Welcome to Success V’Simcha! My name is Elihu Abbe. As a personal growth fanatic, I have always loved both picking up the classics of Covey, Carnegie, and Maxwell, and devoting myself to serious mussar learning. What has been fascinating to me is the universality of the principles and the common denominators that run through so many seforim and books devoted to self-development. After years of taking notes on my sifrei mussar and recording where the ideas are found in contemporary classics, as well as taking notes on the classics and recording where the ideas are found in sifrei mussar, I decided it was time to share these life-enhancing lessons of personal growth culled from both the sifrei kodesh and the wise of the nations. Whether I have the privilege of meeting you in person or you just enjoy the content on this site, I am certain that you will grow and continue to come closer to maximizing your potential!

Why me?
There are so many coaches, trainers, and speakers available. What is the extra value that I bring to the table?
In addition to the Maxwell training that I have received, I also have a masters degree in social work from Yeshiva University, and several certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy from the Beck Institute. My unique niche comes from synthesizing the lessons of the Torah from almost two decades of intense study together with the wisdom of close to one hundred of the contemporary classic works of personal growth and positive psychology.
