Summary

When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister's couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches' advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host.

In the New York Times best seller The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing "the greats" on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within. The masters of greatness are not successful because they got lucky or are innately more talented but because they applied specific habits and tools to embrace and overcome adversity in their lives.

A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness "professors" and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.

What a lifelong lesson!! I was engulfed!

I feel like this is what religion should be in the modern age. I'm all against big groups with leaders and followers... But this is the exception and has sparked that enthusiasm I think I once had about life and that there is a way to get it back! Thank you Lewis!!

Changed Some of My Paradigms

This is an excellent book by Lewis Howes.

I won't lie: there were times when I was tired of some of the underdog stories, but a couple of chapters hit me personally between the eyes. On top of that, he mentions some of the mentors he's had and people who have helped and influenced him who I have googled and found to also be of great help to me.

This book is the reason why I bought 2 other books that I can't wait to listen to.

Great ideas and insights

I enjoyed this very much, decided to join audible solely to try this out after listening to the podcast, fantastic things that I will apply to improve further, ideas that definitely work, as I have used some of them in the last few years. Narrated fantastically by the great Lewis himself, would read again many times!!
