an amazing way to redefine your life experience

This was a great book that helped me a lot. I have been struggling with military trauma, PTSD, anxiety and self worth. I was exposed to Sam's work thru a random Facebook video around 3 am. it was a message that I needed to hear. over the next two days of seeing his videos I had seen enough to know that I wanted more. I bought his book and listened to it in one day. his stories about random encounters that become important life moments happen thru the willingness to give freely from the heart with no other intent than to do what you personally can give of yourself. I even messaged him to thank him just for being and sharing his life and outlook. I would love to share a taco dinner and good down to earth conversation with Sam. this book encouraged me to find my own dream to pursue and be more than just present in my own life.

Thank you again Sam Demma.

Would words!

This book is more geared to younger people with less life experience. But solid words with a story to teach you the lesson

wonderful book

This book offers great perspectives on life events and how to remove judgements. remove self doubt and be more confident about yourself. listen with an open mind and to learn new philosophies of life.

A Motivational Push I Didn’t Know I Needed

I didn’t just listen to this book—I felt it. Sam Demma has a way of speaking directly to you, like a friend who’s been where you are and wants to help you carry a lighter load. The “backpack” metaphor hit home right away. I realized how much weight I’ve been carrying—beliefs, doubts, and voices from other people—that were holding me back.

What I loved most was that it’s not just motivational fluff. Sam mixes his own personal stories with practical steps you can start using today. It’s inspiring but also realistic—you don’t feel like you have to change your whole life overnight, just start with one small action and keep going.

His energy and authenticity make the audiobook easy to connect with, and you can tell he genuinely wants people to succeed. This is especially great for young adults or anyone feeling stuck and needing a reminder that you can create a life that excites you.

If you’ve been carrying around doubts for too long, this book will help you start unpacking them—one belief at a time.

Positivity

Good book, paints a clear picture highly recommend! I would enjoy more work from tour author

Entrepreneurship Inspiration

Empty Your Backpack isn’t full of motivational fluff. It’s a call to look at what you’re carrying that’s holding you back. Sam reminds us that growth requires being honest with yourself, hard work, and the courage to follow your true calling even when nobody else believes in it can happen.

Great listen no matter what your age

I found Sam through an IG post that being there for your friends and it hit home for me. I do not believe I am the typical audience but I believe his book has something for all age groups. I listened to it during my daily walks and found many insights for myself. Thank you for sharing and I will definitely relisten a few times.

A Book That Hit Me Straight in the Heart

I just finished listening to Empty Your Backpack by Sam DeMma, and it honestly stopped me in my tracks. Sam’s words about servant leadership and living with consistency really hit home. The story about his grandfather and the idea of “being someone’s taco” reminded me so much of my own father—someone who always showed up for others without ever asking for anything in return.

Sam’s message about letting go of old beliefs and carrying only what serves you feels like something every father should pass down to his son. It’s about leading with kindness, humility, and purpose. This book made me reflect deeply on what I carry, what I’ve inherited, and what I want to pass forward.
Inspiring, heartfelt, and honest—this one stays with you.

Motivating and Inspiring.

Empty the backpack was a great way to channel your energy and SCA—- small consistent actions—- little steps to achieve a legacy, one step at a time. Changing the world one little piece at a time. Serve others.

so supportive!

it doesn't matter your age or situation, this book is helpful. He has managed to master Nathan Hill's Think and Grow Rich. letting go of the baggage we aren't even aware we carry frees you to be what you want to be and Sam lays out the how's and whys of being a positive human being to bring the changes you want as an individual and the changes we need as a society. Small Consistent Actions can move mountains. thank you for writing this book.
