About this listen

Chop Wood Carry Water is the story of one boy's journey to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a samurai warrior. Guided by "Akira-sensei", John comes to realize the greatest adversity on his journey will be the challenge of defeating the man in the mirror.

This powerful story brings the train-to-be-clutch curriculum to life in a powerful and memorable way.

Some things you will learn....

  • No matter how it feels, you are always building your own house.
  • How and why you must surrender the outcome in order to be at your best.
  • Why you never want to have your identity wrapped up in what you do.
  • Why your strength lies in faithfulness to the little things.
  • How to develop a heart posture of gratitude.
  • How to use the biggest challenges as a training ground for greatness.
  • Why the process is more important than the goal.
  • Why comparison is the thief of all joy.
  • How to develop a growth mindset.
  • Why talent is more of a curse than a blessing.

Worthwhile

This is not the most revolutionary book of all time. It didn't blow my mind and change my outlook on the world. But it provided some great reminders in simple stories that I can apply to my life. Some things were cringe and broad statements that were generalizations but there were also pieces of information that I found valuable. It was worth the 2.5 hours and one credit.

Good life lessons and quick read

Bit of a cheesy story but can appreciate the numerous life lessons and personal development paths and shortfalls valid for most people
