Perfect for you if...

  • You're stuck in a rut after a major setback and need a framework to rebuild your life with purpose.
  • You listen to podcasts and want to distil the wisdom of successful people into actionable habits you can actually use.
  • You're ambitious but feel like you're missing something, and you're ready to do the unglamorous work that success actually requires.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're looking for get-rich-quick schemes or shortcuts. Howes is explicit that greatness requires discipline and consistency.
  • You prefer deep psychological theory or academic rigour over practical, motivational advice.
  • You're sceptical of the self-improvement industry and find motivational language exhausting rather than energising.

About this book

After a career-ending injury forced Lewis Howes to leave professional football, he rebuilt his life by seeking mentors and applying lessons from his sports coaches to personal development. He eventually built a multimillion-dollar online business and became a business coach, speaker, and podcast host. The School of Greatness draws from interviews Howes conducted on his podcast with accomplished individuals including Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun. Through these conversations, Howes identifies specific habits and tools that enable people to overcome adversity and achieve success. He argues that greatness stems from cultivated internal qualities rather than luck or innate talent. The book provides a framework for personal development, with each chapter anchored to a lesson from Howes's interviews or his own experiences. It covers creating vision, developing hustle, and using dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. The book includes practical exercises designed to demonstrate that anyone can achieve success and pursue greatness in daily life.
