"While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their images with sheer, almost irrational force, I've found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition."

Dan Sullivan, the world's leading coach for highly successful entrepreneurs, wants you to know that achieving 10X growth is exponentially easier than striving for 2X growth. Most find this idea confusing at first because simply imagining 10X growth causes them to think they need to do 10X more work to achieve it. However, being a 10X entrepreneur is nothing like what most people think.

Story
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, "It's not the problem that causes our suffering; it's our thinking about the problem." Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works; instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point we can truly love what is, just as it is.

A Great "Look in the Mirror" Book For Everyone!
I didn’t think that the simple 17 points that this book made would have the impact that they do… but they do!
Sometimes, simple is better and when it’s pointed out when I say “I don’t have time”, and then helps me to take another look at the statement (lie), it brings about a shift in thinking that you just can’t get away from.
I’m a motivational/inspirational speaker and I’ll be sure to reference this book in my future talks.

Not insightful, good reminder not to make excuses
There isn't anything insightful about the 17 lies we tell ourselves, like "that isn't me" or "I'm too old." There were a few "lies" that I had not considered as being negative statements; they seemed more like facts. But after listening the author's reasoning, I began to wonder if they're really true obstacles or excuses that I tell myself. It would be useful to listen to this audio book whenever we feel we've hit some roadblocks.

Buy, Listen, Take Action
Of all the books I've read, tapes I've listened to, and workshops I've attended, this audiobook is probably the most amazing thing I've ever heard... and I thought I had heard everything. The collection of lies, while both powerful and revealing, are delivered in such as way that you likely will be smiling at some of the lies we tell ourselves, and nodding your head in agreement with others. This audiobook alone was worth my one year membership at audible.com.

Pretty good
Had I noticed it was from Steve Chandler I would have never gotten this book, mainly because I remember really hating his voice on another audio. I think Steve has greatly improved, and the material in this book is truly valuable too. I really like it.

A mirror of the lies that really control our lives
Steve Chandler has an incredible way of sharing stories of the way we create and lies to hold us back from our greatness! a must read!

Outstanding Piece of Work
Although in other reviews of Steve's work a few listeners have commented on his tone of voice (it is rather deep) and his delivery (he isn't as inflective as some readers), I thoroughly enjoyed listening and laughing to his dry sense of humor and his cut-to-the-chase insights. In my view, Steve's delivery is excellent, as you feel like he's right there talking to you (as opposed to simply reading the book to you). Steve's openness and candor about his own foibles makes this work even more enjoyable - as he openly admits that he has told these same lies to himself (and he provides numerous examples), and has struggled as much as (if not more than) most when it comes to getting a grip and taking responsibility for his own life. This is one audio book I plan to listen to again and again. Way to go Steve! BTW... I found a good photo and background info on Steve at http://www.stevechandler.com/about.htm

Only 17?
Had some good thoughts - many that have been around for a while and appeared in other self help books.
But with these types of books it can be just the way that its explained or justified that can make all the difference to your understanding of it.
Some aspects were well described or explained that made me think "I hadn't thought of it like that" which is all you can hope for.

Convinced
What did you love best about 17 Lies that Are Holding You Back and the Truth that Will Set You Free?
It teaches me how to notice limiting beliefs and behaviours and how to propel myself forward in life.
What other book might you compare 17 Lies that Are Holding You Back and the Truth that Will Set You Free to and why?
The War of Art. Both of these titles are incredible to get me proactive in life.
Which scene was your favorite?
Chapter 7 Steve teaches about worrying and how to cure yourself of that disgusting habit.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Stop thinking like you're dying dipshit.
Any additional comments?
When I got this I thought there would be a 50% chance of returning it because I wouldn't like it.
But, I love it, once you get used to Steve's deep voice the content is very motivational.
If you're interested it's definitely worth giving a shot.
I listen to it in the morning during my coffee ritual and it goes well with the caffeine.
