Today I finished reading the book "Be the best version of yourself" by Dan Waldschmidt and decided to immediately write my review and review, because it makes sense for everyone to read it. Personally, I have learned many important principles from this book that apply to all areas of our lives in order to achieve success and prosperity.

The first thing I want to note is that the book “Be the best version of yourself” itself is very nice and non-standard designed, the font is large, so 200 pages of this book can be read in a few days. The first sentence in this book "You don't need other success books"- after reading it, I can fully agree with this statement, because it has everything necessary principles to achieve success. Each chapter is devoted to a certain principle and I liked that real stories people who have succeeded thanks to these principles, so all information is reasoned and easily fits.

Quotes from the book "Be the best version of yourself"

Here are some principles that I wrote out for myself in this book:

Stop making excuses for yourself!

To understand how important it is to get rid of excuses, you need to realize the results of your individual actions. For example, reading one book a week for 22 years - learn 1144 new ideas from the smartest people from around the world. Make 5 important contacts a month for 35 years - get to know 2100 new people you can count on in Hard time. By getting up 1 hour earlier in 27 years, you can become a master in any business according to the 10,000 hour rule.

The more you fight, the more you win.

It turns out that such great people as: Sigmund Freud, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Stan Smith, Charles Schultz, Vincent van Gogh, Leo Tolstoy, John Creasy, Hank Aaron - all of them failed, but despite their shortcomings and weaknesses, they found strength in themselves and became outstanding people who contributed to our society. Therefore, if something is not working out for me now, it does not mean that it will not work out in the future.

For each achieved success there are just as many failures, not counting small slips.

This principle says that failure is part of success. I can confirm from my own experience.

At all times, ordinary people have achieved outstanding success.

Of course, there are exceptions in the form of geeks, but for the most part, successful people are ordinary people who gathered their courage and became magnificent.

Success lies in you, not in what you do or have.

Everyone successful people have the same qualities. They are not afraid to take risks, they are disciplined, they are generous, they know how to get along with people.

Making an effort is simply taking the next step.

Any achievement is a daily work. Keyword"daily". Every day doing exercises - you guarantee yourself a healthy body. Reading books every day - you guarantee yourself good intelligence. Paying attention to your loved ones every day - you guarantee yourself success in a relationship. By working on your project every day, you guarantee yourself success in your career or business. Etc. etc.

To achieve something, you must first become different from others.

It means not thinking in a pattern, not doing in a pattern, then you will be unique and interesting to others.

When you make a mistake, you open up new possibilities.

It's better to try 10 times and fail than never try and fail.

You need to focus seriously to achieve significant changes that will take you to the next level.

Here we are talking about concentration and willpower, which must be developed.

A lot of life comes down to doing the hard things when you least want to.

Read the book and draw your own conclusions.

How it all started

I still remember the taste of cold oiled metal on my tongue.

At 25, I was about to die. I just wanted to get rid of the pain. That afternoon, I sat on the steps of the garage with the muzzle of a gun in my mouth, in a drunken stupor, with a feeling of bitter, murderous hopelessness.

I had everything you could wish for. But I ruined everything...

I always wanted to be extraordinary, amazing, eccentric. I wanted to change the world and, no doubt, I have already achieved a lot.

By the age of twenty-two, I was known in Washington business circles as the Wunderkind, head of a growing company that was expanding rapidly on both sides of the East Coast, doing business around the world. I had a wonderful wife, a wonderful son, and a house too big for the three of us. And for those who did not try to look behind the screen of luxurious costumes and carefree chatter, it seemed that everything was in order with me. However, inside I was full of guilt and disbelief in my own strength. I'm tired.

Despite the passion extreme views sports and a tendency to work until I lost my pulse - I often spent several days at work in a row - I lost the ability to bend the world to my will. My marriage has been shattered. Into a million little pieces. And I keenly felt how the fragments of this catastrophe had stuck into my being.

I did not pay attention to my wife, so another man appeared next to her. For a while I pretended that I did not notice anything and that I was indifferent to what was happening. But the feeling that someone has taken your place corrodes the soul. It drove me crazy. I blamed my wife. Cursed her. Tried to get out of my life. So what if I didn't have time for it?

But somewhere deep down, I clearly understood that my selfish behavior and inability to show love spoiled our beautiful relationship. I couldn't pretend anymore that this drama wasn't tearing my heart apart.

Not that I was the first time to lose something. I had failed many times before, but I generally viewed them as another stepping stone to success. And I always considered success something inevitable. It looks like it was.

Only this time I failed. family life. And it seemed like nothing could be done.

I was going crazy because I couldn't change anything on my own. I have always been able to solve any problems and tasks ahead of others thanks to unbridled, focused, superhuman enthusiasm. But to do something in this situation was beyond my control. I couldn't get my wife to believe me. Or love me.

And it caused unimaginable pain.

Although from the outside, everything certainly looked different.

Yes, I did not want to lose my wife - but not for any reasonable reasons. I couldn't afford any loss. Never! Never! So I changed my behavior for a few months - just enough to show that I am an exemplary family man. I followed all the formalities: I began to spend more time with my wife, took her to expensive restaurants, arranged fabulous shopping tours. I expected that three months of exemplary behavior would win me back her love and respect. I even told her about it. But this only further alienated her.

So I hit what was best for me - the extreme. Worked longer. He swore louder. Trained harder. I spent every minute without sleep trying to calm the pain.

Day after day, I closed my office door behind me and sobbed over my desk. My assistant knocked politely, reminding me of meetings. I washed my face, straightened my tie, and went off to make incredible deals. But inside I was depressed and emotionally broken. This meant that more effort had to be put in. Which is what I did.

I pushed myself to the point of exhaustion, and even more. At some point in a couple of days, I even lost nine kilograms; and during merciless training in the gym, he caught a staph infection. And at first the doctors could not find it.

I spent four days in the intensive care unit of the hospital. They took infectious disease specialists to me, they did a blood test for AIDS and other autoimmune diseases. Everything was clean. Doctors could not understand what was the matter, and saw one way out - to try different antibiotics. If one did not help, they appointed another. Then another. And so again and again. In the end, I went on the mend.

But my body was broken. I was weak and out of shape. Everything I worked so hard for is gone. And this caused me even more suffering.

I have always believed that I can overcome any difficulties, and I have always put in enough effort to overcome them. But now, for the first time in my life, I was physically unable to do so. Not only did I let my family down, I let myself down. The only friend I had (myself) left me. And I couldn't shake the feeling of loneliness. I was consumed by my failure. Terrible thoughts swirled in my head.

This time I was defeated. It's time to exit the game.

If the staph infection didn't kill me, now I wanted to do it myself. That's how I ended up in the middle of the garage, drunk as hell, with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a gun in the other.

Tears rolled down his face. My sadness turned into sobs. It was so deep and caused so much pain that I was ready to die. There was no other way out. I longed for death. Wiping away my tears, I grabbed the box of bullets. As if in a fog (after all, I'll have to do the job myself), I diligently pushed bullet after bullet into my .22 Browning until I had a full clip.

I took another sip of whiskey and staggered to the back porch of the garage. Sitting down, I awkwardly, with a crash, banged the glass on the step. But he survived. For a few seconds this observation distracted my attention from my sad thoughts. But they immediately rolled again.

I picked up the gun and held it up to my head. I was curious, which would be better - put the gun to the temple or to the mouth? Can I at least not screw up in this? I decided that a shot in the mouth would be safer.

I was completely serious when I tasted gun oil on my tongue. Partly I was wondering if I would dare to do it, and partly I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. I'm tired of suffering.

The pain will go away soon. I nodded, as if confirming to myself that I was doing everything right.

He put his finger on the trigger and began to press ...

You don't need other success books

You don't need books on success. Truth. You already know everything you need to know: set goals, work hard, don't back down or give up until you get what you want. You can repeat it even in your sleep.

I know something about this!

I know how to be successful. I was expelled from the university twice. And in theory, I should not have earned a cent, but I have earned many millions of dollars. (And lost many millions.)
