About this audiobook

From the New York Times bestselling author of The 10X Rule and If You're Not First, You're Last comes an in-your-face wake-up call for anyone truly ready for success. We're in the middle of an epidemic of average. So-called "normal" people get up every day, go to work, do what's asked of them, leave promptly at 5, and return home to sit on the couch and watch TV. Society tells us that this is what it means to lead a balanced life. Don't stress too much or work too hard. Your career isn't everything. But Grant Cardone thinks this preoccupation with balance has really just given an excuse to be mediocre. The bestselling author, self-made multimillionaire, radio and TV personality, and owner of the Whatever It Takes Network knows that if you want real success, you have to be obsessed. You have to be hungry and hyper-focused and insatiable, and not listen to naysayers who tell you to tone it down. You also have to know how to harness that obsession so that you can use it to your advantage. Some of his maxims: ·"Criticism is easily avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." ·"Never fear the haters - fear the weak who listen to them." ·"Most people are dying at 20 and making it official at 80. Most people are living their life with nothing to brag or talk about." If you're looking for someone to coddle you and make excuses for your lack of success, you've come to the wrong book.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic book - I've been accused of being too focused a couple of times by loved ones, so felt this book was written specifically for me. I took the audiobook version because you can feel the sincerity and emotions of the author. {its also easier to listen to while doing chores, and listening at 1.5x speeds} We've all been brainwashed into thinking that leading average, "safe" lives will help us be happy and "balanced" but it only leads to gnawing guilt - is this all my life is meant to be? Grant's book is the perfect wakeup call, and how to get out of the rut.

this was by far the best book i listened in a long time. it opened my eyes for the world we live in. i will not be average i will be Obsessed. thank you Grant Cardone.

Grant Cardone tells it like it is. Say what you want about him but he speaks from the heart and has the mental toughness that changed his own life and others. This man has done more for me through his 3 books than a life time of teachings. His books are worth way more than what he charges. Millions times more.
