About this listen
Chop Wood Carry Water is the story of one boy's journey to achieve his lifelong dream of becoming a samurai warrior. Guided by "Akira-sensei", John comes to realize the greatest adversity on his journey will be the challenge of defeating the man in the mirror.
This powerful story brings the train-to-be-clutch curriculum to life in a powerful and memorable way.
Some things you will learn....
- No matter how it feels, you are always building your own house.
- How and why you must surrender the outcome in order to be at your best.
- Why you never want to have your identity wrapped up in what you do.
- Why your strength lies in faithfulness to the little things.
- How to develop a heart posture of gratitude.
- How to use the biggest challenges as a training ground for greatness.
- Why the process is more important than the goal.
- Why comparison is the thief of all joy.
- How to develop a growth mindset.
- Why talent is more of a curse than a blessing.

The world is changing faster and faster because of the internet and technology. The rigid models of leadership and long-standing rules of engagement and power we’ve come to count upon for generations are no longer reliable in this new hyper-connected and digitally-charged world we find ourselves in. This world is being fueled by openness, connection, transparency and shared power. The future of leadership mandates new levels of personal courage, self-awareness, and authenticity. To be blunt, navigating this new world can be incredibly confusing and frustrating.

Do you ride the escalator or do you take the stairs? No matter how you define success, it always requires one thing: self-discipline. But as popular speaker and strategist Rory Vaden explains, we live in an "escalator world", one that's filled with shortcuts, quick fixes, and distractions that make it all too easy to slide into procrastination, compromise, and mediocrity. What seems like an easier path is really much harder in the end - and, most important, it won't take you where you want to go.

Story
The world is changing faster and faster because of the internet and technology. The rigid models of leadership and long-standing rules of engagement and power we’ve come to count upon for generations are no longer reliable in this new hyper-connected and digitally-charged world we find ourselves in. This world is being fueled by openness, connection, transparency and shared power. The future of leadership mandates new levels of personal courage, self-awareness, and authenticity. To be blunt, navigating this new world can be incredibly confusing and frustrating.

Want to become elite? Get ready for Chosen Suffering. Real champions aren’t born - they’re built. It’s true in life, business, athletics, and faith.

Flourishing people are strong and weak. Two common temptations lure us away from abundant living: withdrawing into safety and grasping for power. True flourishing, says Andy Crouch, travels down an unexpected path - being both strong and weak. We see this unlikely mixture in the best leaders - people who use their authority for the benefit of others while also showing extraordinary willingness to face and embrace suffering.

Amazing Book
I would recommend this book to any athlete, person recovering from injury, someone struggling to get by financially, any parent, or person looking to find themself. If you think you do not fit into one of these categories, I bet this book would still surprise you. Such an easy book to listen to and I am so glad my teammate recommended it to me. As a college athlete who is in recovery from injury, this book has helped with my drive to be great and understand how it will not happen overnight.

a pretty good short read on discipline and self mastery. The story can be a little cheesy at times, but it is a nice break from the lectures often found in self help books. Nothing really new if you're a self help fan, but a good compilation of ideas for self improvement.
