Publisher's 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.

Great drops of wisdom + ways to put them into action

This book does a great job of summarizing the top lessons from the podcast to its date with the beneficial addition of exercises to "learn the lesson" by doing.

Struggling

I’m really not sure why anyone would rate this performance at 5 stars. I love Lewis and I am excited about the content of this book, his narration leaves a lot to be desired. I’m only part way through and actually considering not finishing it on audible.

Should have paid for professional narrator

I purchased this audiobook because I really enjoy Lewis's YouTube interviews and content. However this audiobook is poorly done because you can tell he is reading directly from the book. not a good job at all. While the content is great. It's hard to get around his monochromatic reading skills. would have been much better with a professional narrator. sorry Lewis. I still follow all your podcast.
