Publisher's Summary

The follow-up to James Smith’s international number one best seller, Not a Diet Book

  • Do you love your job?
  • Does your future excite you?
  • Are your relationships working for you? 

James Smith is back to challenge everything you thought you knew about the path to fulfilment and happiness. With hard-hitting home truths and a helping of tough love, be prepared to reset your outlook, redefine your goals and truly consider: What does success truly mean to you? 

Now, more than ever, is the time to take back control. Time to stop sleep-walking through your life, to challenge the status quo and to truly ask yourself if you’re on the right path to success, happiness and fulfilment.  

Only you can take the reins of your own life and choose to make a change, but with invaluable experience, a hunger for genuine happiness and a drive to be the kind of coach he needed when his life was broken, James can give you the tools to do it.

Not Professional either

I know I am old fashioned but profane words are not helpful adjectives. If this is to lead us to a better life, why do you use angry words to build a positive day? Words are powerful and have energy. The author says he is a learner. So going forward your next book think about why you use toxic language? Vulgar words are not professional and are VERY negative.

Simply amazing

Listened to it twice in a row! Very straight forward advice and important life lessons are shared.
Priceless!

Lacking original thoughts and ideas

It’s not that the book doesn’t have good advice, it’s just that the author takes a collection of ideas from other people and put it into one book. He does give them credit which is good. If you have experience with James Clear or Angela Duckworth and others like them, this will just be a repetition of their ideas. If you have no idea who those people are, then this book will be good for you.
