Nothing Changes Until You Do

De: Mike Robbins

Narrado por: Mike Robbins

After three years of living his dream as a professional baseball pitcher, Mike Robbins had an arm injury that benched him for good, and when this happened, everything changed. He had to figure out who he was without the identity of "baseball player"-a process fraught with emotional highs and lows-and he quickly realized that the self-criticism and self-doubt he was feeling are in fact epidemic in our culture. Too often we base our value on our external world-our jobs, finances, appearance, or various other factors. Even the most successful people struggle with their relationship with themselves.In Nothing Changes Until You Do, Mike looks at this delicate relationship and brings to light a new way to look at life, opening your eyes to your innate value.These 40 inspiring essays, which are real tales from Mike's own life and the lives of his clients, boil down some of the most important lessons Mike has learned on his own personal journey-and as he's traveled throughout the country for over a decade speaking to groups of all kinds. With themes spanning from the importance of trusting yourself to the benefits of vulnerability to the strength inherent in embracing change, this book shows you how to get out of your own way and make peace with yourself. With humor, authenticity, and ease, Mike illustrates that with a little self-compassion and a healthy dose of self-acceptance, anyone can turn away from the negatives that manifest because of a critical self-perception-things like unkindness, insecurity, addictions, sabotaged relationships, unnecessary drama, and more.Making peace with yourself is fundamental to happiness and success.So join Mike and learn to have more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for yourself-thus giving you access to more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for the people (and everything else) in your life.

Loved it!

I absolutely loved this book,I was fortunate to hear Mr. Robbins speak at the San Joaquin County In- service this summer. I was so impressed that day I purchased his book that day.

A quick read

I read this book and I'm still trying to get parts of it. Really most of the knowledge is available from other sources and has been said many, many times! Mostly this book is a review or condensed version of many other books.

20% Inspiration, 80% Biography

Every so often I pick up a book like this just as a reminder on things I should already be constantly aware of, and to find a little inspiration here and there. That's essentially what this book is for about 20% of it. It's a message that boils down to a variation of the Law of Attraction: if you change your perception, you change your world. It's a good message, but... the other 80% consists of personal anecdotes of the author's personal life, and after a while it gets tedious despite the best intentions. It's ironic to me that had he presented this as a biography instead of a self-help title, it might have been better, but it probably wouldn't sell nearly as well.

Robbins is a decent enough narrator for his own book, but as he's also a public speaker, it could have been better if he'd presented this in such a way as to harness those abilities instead of making it sound like he was just reading his book.

Honest, Authentic and Relatable

Would you listen to Nothing Changes Until You Do again? Why?

Yes! His stories are healing, uplifting and compassionate. Many of the topics he discusses are similar to my own struggles. I felt the confidence and strength in his words, reminding me to stand in my power. Thank you for writing this book and sharing your experiences with us!

no good

was not helpful
and was more about him than how to help yourself

A waste of time

It was mindless new age nonsense. Although the author had good intentions, the content was simplistic and uninspiring.
