About this listen

The follow up to James Smith’s international number one bestseller, Not a Diet Book.

  • Do you love your job?
  • Does your future excite you?
  • Are your relationships working for you?

James Smith is back to challenge everything you thought you knew about the path to fulfilment and happiness. With hard-hitting home truths and a helping of tough love, be prepared to re-set your outlook, redefine your goals and truly consider:

What does SUCCESS truly mean to you?

Now, more than ever, is the time to take back control. Time to stop sleep-walking through your life; to challenge the status quo; and to truly ask yourself if you’re on the right path to success, happiness and fulfilment.

Only you can take the reins of your own life and choose to make a change, but with invaluable experience, a hunger for genuine happiness, and a drive to be the kind of coach he needed when his life was broken, James can give you the tools to do it.

Ever wondered why you feel like you’re not reaching your potential?! Stuck in a job that makes you miserable but don’t know how to get out? I’d highly recommend listening to this book. It helps you to understand all of life’s aspects from relationships, jobs, friends, sports and various other fields from a completely new and refreshing perspective. It’s definitely made me question where I place my time and energy and inspired me to rethink what truly makes me happy. Cheers, James. Thanks for always keeping it real.
