Publisher's summary

"There's a secret to mastery that you may have never heard, a single little thing that only the very best in the world know how to do. In fact, I believe it is the only thing anyone can do to gain true mastery at anything, and it's an equal opportunity principle. It can be applied to fulfill your potential in business, in sports, in your relationships, as well as your overall life. Do you want to know what it is?"

In the crowd, Jason leaned forward, laser focused. Kicked off his basketball team after a season-ending fight, his only chance to play ball again was to sell enough books door-to-door over the summer to get back on the team. He never needed wisdom like he needed it now. But little did he know that the answer he was seeking was about to change his life forever. Pound The Stone is the intense and inspiring story of a young man's journey through the obstacles, defeats, and eventual victories that come while developing grit on the path to mastery. Told in the same engaging fable style as Chop Wood Carry Water, this is a deeper dive into the timeless principles that guide and inspire anyone who seeks greatness in life, and covers everything from true success, to the perfection trap, the value of failure, why courage is contagious, and why vulnerability can save your life. Pound The Stone will move you, inspire you, and hopefully encourage you to choose love and courage over fear and shame.

treasure chest of wisdom

unfortunately I don't know where to begin describing this book. there's so many lessons to be learned. don't try to highlight it if you do you're going to need multiple highlighters and the book is going to be soaked afterwards.

So much wisdom in bite size chapters

Love the short chapters and story format of this! Easy to listen to and kept me engaged wanting to hear more! My kids enjoyed listening too! There are 2 topics towards end of book that may not be suitable for young kids.

My 12 Year Old Son Loved It

My 12year old listens to this book every night when he goes to bed. He’s gone through the whole book probably five times since first listening to it last summer.
I’m old and I couldn’t stop listening!
It’s so inspiring. 👍🏻
