Let’s face it: fitness is hard.

Have you ever gotten into the car after a long day at work and headed straight for the couch instead of the gym?

Have you ever been unable to stop hitting the snooze button in the morning?

Have you even felt secretly afraid you just don’t have what it takes to transform your body and health?

Welcome to the club.

Working out and eating right takes time, energy, effort, discipline, dedication, and patience, and life always finds ways to interfere with our intentions and tempt us to stray.

And here’s the ground truth:

It doesn’t ever get easier - we just have to get better. And this book will help you get better.

It contains practical scientific research, compelling stories, and time-proven tactics for overcoming the mental and emotional blocks that bring you down and spin you around.

Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll find inside:

• The easiest way to instantly increase your will power and self-control in any situation, no matter how you feel in the moment.
• Three science-based psychological “tricks” you can use to stay strong during moments of temptation.
• A simple 10-minute technique for beating procrastination and skyrocketing productivity.
• How to inoculate yourself against Great Western Disease of “I’ll be happy when...” and find immediate joy and satisfaction right where you are.
• Why you must stop telling yourself that you need things to be “just right” (and what to do instead).
• The “40 percent rule” that Navy SEALs use to “dig deep” and screw up their courage when they need it most.
• And more.

So, scroll up, click the “buy” button now, and get ready to enjoy more energy, enthusiasm, and excellence.

This is an excellent audiobook.

Mike Matthews is all out excellent and knows how to write well. The chapters that hit was chapters 26 and on. We're he was talking about how we like to "talk about it, rather than doing the work" this was always discuss by Ryan Holiday on his book "Ego is the Enemy" Again I am thankful that I had chance to stumbled upon on Mike's work and attitude towards life in general.

thank you fome the inspiration

í started to make goals for me and my life and your tips and stories really inspire me to stick with them, really thanks

Common sense for the uncommon...

As my first audiobook, I didn’t want to cheat the experience by adopting expectations; however, I wasn’t sure that retention of the material would be as good as reading it on my own...man, was I wrong!

This book was engaging, well thought out, and presented on a way that within the first 30 mins of listening I was already unfamiliar with the blossoming new man in the mirror. The practicality and immediate usefulness of the book has served me well at home AND in the office. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to jumpstart their introduction to the best version of themselves.

Great for all fitness levels. Great for all people!

I believe this book is great for all fitness ability levels from beginner to advanced. He lives very inspirational for anyone he just wants to improve themselves in an authentic way. I would definitely say I enjoy narrations by Michael Matthews, very easy and enjoyable to listen to. So in my humble opinion he’s a great narrator and does not really need to use anyone else to narrate his books. I would recommend this book for anyone. I am going to have my 18 year old son read this during his winter break!

very helpful

really enjoyed this and can feel Michael’s desire to help Only drawback is his target audience is men and i’m a girl :)

Great motivator!!!!

I am on a weight loss & fitness journey. I have been working out for years with & without trainers. I have have success & failure both ways. After going through several surgeries and aging... it has become harder to attain the body shape & fitness level I desired. I decided in January to make some definite physical, dietary, and mental changes to achieve the body & life I want for the rest of my life. I feel this book has given me extra motivation to endure the challenges in the gym & outside the gym. Part of my challenge has been sticking to a healthy diet and not allowing “life“ to hamper my efforts. I am down 25lbs in 3 months and feeling like a new person. I have shared this book with my husband and plan to share it with my kids as they get older. I feel like their are so many beneficial life applications. My husband & I are going to do the 7 day challenge together. Thanks for having the courage to write this book Mike!
