Dave Hollis does it again!!! This is such a great read and Dave nails helping you find your courage. This book will help you dive deeper into figuring out who exactly you are and why you do the things you do. You will learn how to be the best "YOU" you can be. I loved all of these lessons and hearing Dave's story really helped me relate and gave me a few "a ha" moments. This is a very practical book that can truly help anyone become a better version of themself!

I enjoyed Dave's first book, and this was an excellent follow up. He gives concrete ideas to help readers learn ways to get out of their own way and build happier futures. His practical tips and exercises at the end of each chapter seem quite useful. I wasn't the target demographic for this book, but I still found value in Dave's words.

I am new to Dave and was not a follower of his and Rachel's Rise/Hollis empire. I'm not sure exactly who this book would be good for. At first I thought it could be helpful for those going through a divorce, yet, at the end of the book, he talks about finding a girlfriend rather quickly after Rachel's departure.

The ships, seas, harbors, rough sailing examples were overused. However, I thought the journal logs were excellent - the questions for you to ponder about your life are valid.

Readers will find this book to be like most other self-help books - while there's some information you can pick and choose that will be relatable, there's a lot of material that's just not.

There's a big segment of the population that loves their self-help gurus, so for those that are Dave Hollis fans, you will enjoy this one.

This book is essentially “Self-help 101.” Mostly solid advice - about choosing a positive attitude, not letting failure make you give up, the power of re-framing, etc. But it is absolutely at a beginner level. Which Hollis has conceded that he is - not too long ago, he was a successful executive at Disney who thought all of this self-help stuff was nonsense. In the years since then, his life (marriage, career) has kind of collapsed, and unfortunately this book came out before he had time to make sense of all that he’s been through. So while most of what he says is decent enough advice, it’s very basic, and there are no deep insights to be found here. I’m not sure he’d share them if he had them, as he seems like a surface sort of guy, at least in his public persona. Hollis confesses to being a Christian, which feels more like a nod to his fan base than a motivating force behind his writing. This book would have been much stronger with more mystery and faith and questions about how God works, and less rah-rah/you can do it/don’t give up self-reliance/self-care/self-motivation jargon. Because eventually that always fails, and one gets the sense that Dave is speaking from some quickly-shifting sand in this book.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing a copy of this book.

It's really really really hard for me to find something charitable about this White Privileged Dude Bro preaching to people about courage. Specifically, the "courage" to leave his C-Suite and start his own consulting business? Or the "courage" to go do a triathlon that you haven't prepared for? When this field is filled with people who fought in the Middle East, or faced American racism or immigration, I'm not sure who would pick up this book to get life advice from a Cis-Het Upper Class educated American man.
