Publisher's summary

"If you want to become the best you, but are unsure how to get there, start here." (Rachel Hollis, number one New York Times best-selling author of Girl, Wash Your Face and Girl, Stop Apologizing)

In this remarkable, life-changing new book, renowned inspirational speaker Trent Shelton shares his revolutionary tool kit for transforming your life and reaching your goals.

Trent Shelton seemed to have it all together - until everything fell apart. A college football standout, his NFL dreams died when he was cut from multiple teams. With no job and no prospects, learning he had a child out of wedlock on the way and numbing himself with whatever he could find, Trent then found out one of his closest friends had killed himself. Life seemed without hope - until Trent discovered the secret to finding promise in the darkest of times. And now he shares that secret with you.

Writing from deep, been-there experience, Trent walks you on a journey to become the best hope-filled version of yourself. In The Greatest You, Trent will help you:

  • Become everything you are meant to be
  • Face the reality of your circumstances and realize your purpose in life
  • Break free from toxic environments and forgive those who've harmed you
  • And learn how to guard yourself against the pitfalls of life

Weaving together personal stories from his own life and from others who have also gone through hard times, Trent reveals how you can bring out the best in yourself and establish a happier, more fulfilled future for generations to come.

Great Book, but hard to follow on Audible

There is so much in this book, I wish there was a question workbook provided along with the audible book. It has A TON of concepts and motivation to become "The Greatest You". It may be one of my favorite self-development books there is.
However, I was confused a few times in who was talking. Was it him, or was it the person in the story he was talking about? He speaks very fast, and has no breaks between paragraphs, change of topic, or even breaks to think or take-in some of the words, wisdom, or information he is giving you.
This is a book I will be purchasing as a physical hard copy. It is too hard to follow and slowly process everything he is saying; and I usually like the readers to speed up! Don't miss out on this book just because the audible is too hard to follow. I think it's amazing and the content is wonderful. A physical book will be the go-to in this one.

Gotta get it

because of my life coach Trent Shelton and listen to the book while I'm reading it it's just that much more powerful for me I'm willing to do the work that needs to be done to become the greatest to me ever and who else to be coached by. This is a must read book or must listen to book! #LIVEYOURSELF#REHABTIME#ITALLSTARTSWITHYOU#LETSGETIT #LOVEMYLIFECOACH#

Inspired!

Trent speaks from the heart, and to the heart. This was so much more than a personal development book, it resonates with all walks of life, so many of life's hardest scenarios, and so many of the limiting beliefs we ALL deal with. He is REAL, raw and relatable. If you're willing to be real with yourself and face some of your own realities, and you want to BE the change, this book is a must!
