Synopsis
On the heels of his successful "100 Ways To Motivate Yourself" and "9 Lies That Are Holding Your Business Back", motivational speaker and author, Steve Chandler, has written what he considers his most important work, "The Story of You". In the tradition of Steve Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" and M. Scott Peck's "The Road Less Travelled", Chandler's tale of personal growth transcends all categories, with elements of psychology, business, self-help and contemporary social commentary. With humour and biting critiques, Chandler exposes people's false ego stories for what they are and reveals the source of all success: the inner energy of will and spirit. Filled with candid dialogue from pivotal coaching sessions that Chandler has conducted (and been the subject of!), this book is a dramatic exposure of how we hold ourselves back by the stories we believe about ourselves and then project to the world. Chandler breaks new ground with revelations and fresh interpretations about personalities as diverse as: Elvis Presley, Vincent Van Gogh, Dr. Andrew Weil, Hugh Hefner and Mark Twain. By exposing your stories as the most false and limiting part of your lives, Chandler invites you into a new world of action and creative accomplishment. "The Story of You" will mesmerise you, stripping away the made-up limitations society asks you to believe and giving you back a fresh new life story.

Customer Reviews

Probably the most motivating book I've ever read!
I've owned this book for over a year now and I still read it regularly. This is not a typical self-help book, instead the book is filled with practical examples which demonstrates how we build our stories which govern our lives. More importantly he shows you how we build our negative stories which prevent us from doing what we truly want to do. Whenever I feel that things are getting on top of me or if I need something to motivate me into action then I just read a random chapter from this book and it never fails to get me back into my stride.

This book is with out a doubt the most motivational and empowering book I have ever read.
