Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Finalist, Personal Development, 2014

Reknowned speaker, educator, author, activist and minister, Eric Thomas is rising to national prominence by delivering a high energy message that tells youth through first hand experience how to live up to their full potential and greatness and by breaking the cycles of crime, hopelessness and despair that many face daily. Known for his engagingly personal approach, his messages are both dynamic and inspiring. When coupled with his own cycle-breaking experience, his blunt essays on reality and remarkable ability to reach even the most jaded of minds, has helped thousands of youth nationwide become peak performers academically, spiritually and personally.

Eric has electrified audiences ranging from Fortune 500 companies to urban educators, collegiate athletic programs and inner-city youth development agencies with the message of his own life's struggles and the principles, insights and strategies he used to overcome them. Eric is no stranger to the ills that plague our communities as he was born in Chicago, IL and raised on the streets of Detroit, MI. His childhood and adolescent years were difficult, and his life struggles and personal identity issues were intensified because like so many, he did not establish a relationship with his biological father until his early thirties.

Thank you

I listened to so many of your videos on YouTube prior to buying your audio book. But the book pieces everything together. Like you say, I need to find that dream and work for it! Do what ever it takes to get there.
Your book is exactly what I needed to take my next step.

ET rocks!

EVERYONE needs to listen to this book by ET if they want to experience the success that they need and deserve.

We have it so easy, and our lifestyle and environment tends to make us lazy. It's hard to imagine the courage and commitment that it takes for those less fortunate to succeed.

Inspiring story

The narrator (Eric Thomas) is excellent. It is like listening to his speeches over a 5 hour epic. The story of his humble beginnings to his eventual success is inspiring and worthwhile in exploring in this audio book. Eric enhances his story through elaborating on the lessons he has learned and emparting them on the reader. You will finish this book a better person.
