About the Book
The problem with the self-help industry is that we aren’t sharing the grey stories — the stories in between the lines of the big, high-milestone moments that are on the cover of every greeting card.
We all fail. We all fall. But we don’t talk about it. So we never learn how to get back up.
Before selling over a million copies of the Book of Awesome series and touring the world to teach Fortune 500 CEOs, Ivy league deans, and members of the royal family how to unlock a positive mind-set… my life hit rock bottom.
I flamed out of my dream job and then racked up $300,000 of debt as a failed entrepreneur. I lost my best friend to suicide and my wife to divorce … in the same week. And then there were my own demons – the hang-ups, anxieties, and bouts of self-doubts that plagued me from adolescence.
And yet, inch by inch, I learned how to get back up. And you can, too.
How to Get Back Up combines my very personal story of failure and resilience, told for the first time, with the latest scientific research on happiness and self-development strategies.
It’s filled with actionable lessons on resilience and perseverance, such as:
- The 3 B’s of getting yourself out of burnout.
- The single word that opens up any opportunity.
- The most important question you need to ask when sizing up a new opportunity.
- A simple step-by-step framework for letting go of shame.
- How just two minutes can make every day intentional.
This is my story. It’s the story of a life lived better – a story we all can have if we learn to change the narrative.
