Publisher's summary

Going Right: A Logical Justification for Pursuing Your Dreams is a world-view shattering model of decision-making. In this audiobook, we are offered liberation from our socialized, detached, and unsustainable methods of making life’s most meaningful choices. This is a fresh invitation to integrate our emotional passions, using our rational brain, while remaining grounded in real-world experiences.

Gelbrich builds on leading academic theories and exceptional practical illustrations to support his proposed decision-making model. Surprisingly, most adults today, who are privileged enough not to worry about their basic survival needs, operate as if pursuing the loftiest version of themselves poses a threat to their safety and an offense to the social norms of their lives.

Many point to the risks of losing their own happiness, the possibility to not providing for themselves and dependents, and the social consequences of chasing down their ideal self-expression to fuel their logic against reaching for something higher. But basing the most meaningful of our choices, our dreams, on assumptions, and predicting the effects of our decisions on our most important obligations is robbing us and our communities of the happiness, our ability to provide for self and others, and social benefits that we find ourselves instinctively protecting in the first place.

Going Right explores the essentially grand, utilitarian advantages of an alternative logic and unlocks universal modern truths of pursuing our peak expression. The enduring stoic path of significance presented here leads us to hold greater commitments, practice deep work, remain resilient to adversity, experience moments of creative flow, and curate transferable skills. Whether in the context of relationships, work, or lifestyle, Going Right presents a solid case that braving your evolutionary resistances to continually pursue your dreams is truly the most logical choice you can make.

The Sooner You Get this Book, the Sooner You Change Your Life.

No matter who you are, it’s time to take the journey laid out clearly for you in this book.

Be prepared to question everything.
But, also be prepared to (re)discover parts of yourself that you may have tucked away, unsure how to shine them into the world.
Until now.

This book gives you what your soul needs: a whole new level of permission to lean into your big dreams; to change, to stop playing small, to commit, to do the work, to take the risk, with the freedom to fail, or to reinvent yourself - on the path to greatness for which you were meant.

The self-study workbook hidden inside the story and thoughts Logan Gelbrich has authored here left me wide-eyed, and also sparked complete dedication to stretching my capacity. You absolutely cannot miss this opportunity.

Turns out, this isn’t just any story. It’s THE STORY - a guide to how you shape the best version of your future self. #goingright

Game changer

This is my second time listening to this book and again it hit me with further awearness of what greatness awaits at the unknown. years of hammering at my craft has been indirectly opening opportunities for crafts that would allow for that same state of flow to grow.
nervous and filled with the avoidance inch, I push back at not risk taking and look forward to life with an appeal that says you ain't washed up, you are just getting a started toward a journey of a life time. boom 💥

Be Prepared to Level Up

If you’re looking for a light pep talk along the lines of “if you can dream it, you can do it; 5 easy steps to get there,” I would brace yourself, because that’s not what this is. It can be a bit uncomfortable. Logan Gelbrich’s explanation of what it means to “go right” motivates you to follow your dreams, insisting and proving that doing what you want most to do IS the “reasonable” thing to do. BUT, it does so with the emphasis that it’s not an easy endeavor; true mastery of your chosen craft does not come easily, and you won’t just get lucky. You will be called to be vulnerable and get real with yourself, and then to commit. And in this pursuit, you should be prepared and eager to encounter adversity, because that is what will strengthen you, help you experience creative flow, and will ultimately lead to reaching your peak expression.

Interspersed among the strategies laid out in the book are numerous stories and insights from notable names in all industries; i.e., you don’t have to identify as an “athlete” to learn and grow from the concepts in this book. The concepts and strategies are universally transferable. From hat makers to stand-up comedians, from elementary school teachers to elite athletes, there are bursts of inspiration that can relate to everyone and that show you how you can make a huge difference in the world doing what you love, no matter what that is.

I just completed my first run-though of this through the audiobook. While it is great to listen to the author explain everything himself, I do not recommend the audiobook as your sole resource for this. It is a great component to have because you can access the information hands-free, but there is too much packed into each chapter to really get a full grasp of it in one go. Perhaps it’s the perpetual student in me, but these are strategies that lend themselves to underlining, annotations, and marking for future and continual reference. I feel like I’ve only skimmed the surface, but I hope to delve deeper upon receiving my hard copy.

You make the greatest contribution and impact when you reach your peak expression. I highly recommend this book as an invaluable tool in figuring out exactly what that means for you. If it’s in your heart, you CAN do it; just be prepared to level up.

Right on!

Going Right is the textbook for why supposed to’s, should’s, and have to’s are the roadmap to regret. Liberate your unique expression, go right.

Good philosophy overall

I get Logan’s philosophy and I appreciate the lengthy research he did for this book. Honestly, I understood his concept within minutes and I think this book could have been shorter. Also, he talks a lot about his famous friends, which is interesting but like come on, we know you’re cool already, no need to brag!

What an opportune time to soak this up again!

If there is a time to going right, this is one of our most significant opportunities to do so!
Every headline and commercial is about living in fear; go left, it's easier! Why try when you can hide.
This made me believe in our duties more than ever to evolve. To adapt, conquer, and overcome. Check this audible out and feel what Logan's passion is. It's more than finding your dream. It's about taking on these struggles and finding evolution in it.

OUTSTANDING! MUST READ!

If I could recommend only ONE book that can change your life, your mindset & your path to a better future THIS IS IT! Bravo Logan!
