From the beloved cohost of Good Morning America, NFL Hall of Fame member and Super Bowl champion Michael Strahan comes a motivational guide to tackle each day from the moment you get out of bed.

Pulling from his own life experiences, Michael Strahan details the mix of mental discipline, positive thinking, and sense of play that lead him to a Super Bowl XLII victory as a member of the New York Giants, and later to star alongside Kelly Ripa in the hit daytime talk show Live! with Kelly and Michael. Each of these “Strahan Rules” will guide you step-by-step through developing a work ethic and mental durability that will prime you to achieve your goals and transform your life.

Delivered with his signature wit and wisdom, Strahan’s Rules combine a range of advice, from values he picked up from his father who served in the military to professors who teach on the science of happiness and include:

-Rule #5: Too many of us count ourselves out before we even give ourselves a chance...Do the work. Be excellent. You’ll find your place.
-Rule #11: You can’t change other people, but you can change how you are around them, and sometimes, a lot of times, that’s more than enough.
-Rule #12: Listen to other people, but don’t take their opinions for fact. Have your own experiences. Draw your own conclusions.

Whether you are attempting to achieve your career goals, seeking to better your relationships or simply up your optimism quotient, Wake Up Happy will inspire you. Personal Development Personal Success Sports

As personal development books go this was light. Michael has an interesting back story and is a person of tremendous accomplishment but the system he laid out didn't really work for me. It's a system that could work for someone with Michael's unique make of qualities. Very different experience as an adolescent, tremendous physical gifts and a charisma that must have always been there. Getting these skills to the level he got them to was no small thing, but would his system translate to the average person? As well, not a lot of evidence backing up recommendations, which to be fair, is quite common with these types of books. He does cite some research but generally, it's "this is what worked for me." If you're football fan there's not a lot of pro stories, but if you interested in learning more about Michael as a person, it's for you.
