Description

A Life Reset for High Achievers Who’ve Lost Themselves on the Way Up

You’ve done everything “right.” Built the career, chased the promotions, hit the milestones. From the outside, it looks perfect. But inside, you feel the pressure, the fatigue, the ache for something more. You’ve hit the point where “success” no longer feels like success.

When corporate strategist Janine Mathó lost her mother in 2020—just months before the world shut down—everything she thought she knew about achievement collapsed. Burned out, grieving, and unable to keep pushing through, she took extended leave and began rebuilding from the ground up. What she discovered became Live Your Opus—a 12-week framework that helps high achievers recover their energy, redefine success, and create a life that finally feels aligned.

Grounded in neuroscience, lived experience, and the transformative Opus 8 Energy System, this book shows you how to move from overdrive to purpose—without losing your ambition or yourself.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Shift from reactive overwork to intentional impact
  • Align your identity and ambitions with your future—not your past
  • Reconnect with what truly matters and let it guide your choices
  • Build a rhythm that fuels your energy, not drains it
  • Thrive without burning out, selling out, or numbing out


Within weeks, your focus sharpens. Your energy returns. And you begin to feel something you haven’t felt in a long time—yourself.

Whether you’re grieving, burned out, or simply ready to stop performing and start living, Live Your Opus gives you a practical, soul-centered path forward.

You don’t have to abandon success to find meaning. You just have to redefine it.

You are your greatest work. Live Your Opus is how you begin treating yourself that way.

Advance Praise

“If you’re a high achiever who hustled your way to success but lost yourself along the way, this book delivers. Janine Mathó offers a grounded, practical path to align your ambition with what matters most to you.” —MEL ROBBINS, New York Times bestselling author of The Let Them Theory and host of The Mel Robbins Podcast

“Live Your Opus is a wake-up call for high achievers who are ready to stop running on empty and start living on purpose. If you’ve been chasing success, always wondering when ‘enough’ would finally hit—this is your essential guide." —DORIE CLARK, executive education faculty at Columbia Business School and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Long Game

“So many of us reach a moment, quiet and often hidden, when success begins to feel strangely hollow and the life we’ve worked so hard to build no longer fits. In Live Your Opus, Janine Mathó meets that moment with uncommon grace. This is not a book of easy answers, but a brave and generous companion for the inner work of returning to oneself. With clarity and care, Mathó helps us remember something essential, something we may have known once but lost track of along the way: that vitality, meaning, and contribution are not separate paths, but one path walked in alignment with the truth of who we are.” —STEPHEN COPE, author of The Great Work of Your Life

“Janine holds what most coaches can’t—your ambition, your doubt, your vision—and helps you turn it all into clarity and power. I watched her carry this work from the shadows into the world. In Live Your Opus, she offers that same rare gift to every ambitious person: a path back to self-trust, energy, and a kind of success that doesn’t cost you what matters most. More than just wisdom, Janine offers high achievers the clarity they spend years chasing, delivered with heart, strength, and truth.” —NIMROD MASHIAH, Olympic athlete, three-time world medalist, and elite performance strategist

“In a world wired for fear and addicted to certainty, Live Your Opus is a powerful invitation to reclaim mastery over your own mind and design a life led by purpose. Janine doesn’t just ask us to dream—she shows us how to disarm the survival-driven wiring that keeps us small so that we can live our dreams. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to live their highest potential and shape a future where dreams aren’t just personal aspirations—they’re the responsibility we carry to model what’s possible for the next generation.” —LINA ASHAR, founder and CEO, Dreamtime Learning

“A playbook for presence and purpose, Mathó lifts the veil on burnout, energy, and what really matters. Live Your Opus is a toolbox to help anyone wanting to live their best life.” —PROFESSOR KERENSA JENNINGS, Fellow of the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (FRSA)

“The use of musical metaphors such as composition and opus is a brilliant and original way to draw the reader into what becomes a true odyssey of self-discovery and creation. Part One offers a thoughtful approach to the vital act of taking charge of our minds, our choices, and the small details of our daily lives. Part Two provides a masterful blend of practical exercises, provocative insights, and moving stories of real people who have transformed their lives. It inspires the reader to begin their own journey, one small, mindful step at a time. This is the kind of book that, if it were required reading in every high school around the world, would change how we define success and how we live in pursuit of it.” —CLAIRE HARBOUR, trusted advisor to C-suite leaders and founders, author, and disruptor

“If you’re a high achiever who hustled your way to success but lost yourself along the way, this book delivers. Janine Mathó offers a grounded, practical path to align your ambition with what matters...
