Book Description:
Dave Hollis used to think that "personal development” was just for broken people.
Then he woke up.
When a looming career funk, a growing drinking problem, and a challenging trek through therapy battered Dave Hollis, a Disney executive and father of four, he began to realize he was letting untruths about himself dictate his life. As he sank to the bottom of his valley, he had to make a choice. Would he push himself out of his comfort zone to become the best man he was capable of being, or would he play it safe and settle for mediocrity?
In Get Out of Your Own Way, Dave tackles topics he once found it difficult to be honest about, things like his struggles with alcohol and his insecurities about being a dad.
Offering encouragement, challenges, and a hundred moments to laugh, in Get Out of Your Own Way, Dave:
Points the way for those of us who are, like he was, skeptical of self-help but wanting something more than the status quo
Helps us drop bogus ideas about who we are supposed to be and finally start living as who we really are
Helps us see our own journeys more clearly as he unpacks the lies he once believed—such as “I Have to Have It All Together” and “Failure Means You’re Weak”
Reveals the tools that helped him change his life … and may change your life too.
Thoughts:
Another audio in the books! I’m loving this!!!
Ok – this is so hard to rate, because I have loved ALL THINGS Dave & Rach put into the world, but after they announced their divorce, it’s been hard for me to “believe” some of what “works” for them, because it didn’t; however, I still think a lot of their fundamental tools for achieving great things and getting through hard times are extremely useful. I loved listening to this in Dave’s voice, and find him to be authentic in his struggles and things that have held him back. This can be read by both males and females, but having read GWYF and GSA, there were parts that were slightly redundant to Rachel’s books, but Dave’s personality and perspective were more relatable for me to connect with. There was valuable information on ways to “get out of your own way,” in here, and being a 9 on the Enneagram, I really liked the way he explained how he overcame obstacles he was faced with. Super fast read / audio, and glad I finally listened to it!
