17 Lies That Are Holding You Back and the Truth That Will Set You Free

By: Steve Chandler

Narrated by: Steve Chandler

Now available on CD: "A brilliant set of principles essential for people to function at their best, overcome personal obstacles, and achieve their heart's desire"*
17 LIES THAT ARE HOLDING YOU BACK explains how to recover from the lies that most of us tell ourselves to prevent us from being everything we could be—lies such as:
• "It's who you know"
• "I'm not good with people"
• "I'm too old"
• "Winning the lottery would solve everything"
• "I don't have the time"
Actually, as Chandler points out, you already have all the power you need to free yourself. And part two of his program outlines these truths and shows you how to recover them and use them to change your life.

Critic reviews

“With deftly told stories and personal examples, Chandler says that true independence and self-esteem comes from what we do, not what others give us or tell us.... A well-rounded program that is highly recommended for listeners wanting a clearer path to blissful achievement.” —AudioFile*

A Great "Look in the Mirror" Book For Everyone!

I didn’t think that the simple 17 points that this book made would have the impact that they do… but they do!

Sometimes, simple is better and when it’s pointed out when I say “I don’t have time”, and then helps me to take another look at the statement (lie), it brings about a shift in thinking that you just can’t get away from.

I’m a motivational/inspirational speaker and I’ll be sure to reference this book in my future talks.

Terrific Book!

Terrific book that really reminded me why we need not be discouraged and should in fact be excited to wake up and pursue life each day! I really appreciate Steve's insight and recommend 17 Lies that Are Holding You Back to anyone needing some encouragement.

Not insightful, good reminder not to make excuses

There isn't anything insightful about the 17 lies we tell ourselves, like "that isn't me" or "I'm too old." There were a few "lies" that I had not considered as being negative statements; they seemed more like facts. But after listening the author's reasoning, I began to wonder if they're really true obstacles or excuses that I tell myself. It would be useful to listen to this audio book whenever we feel we've hit some roadblocks.

Buy, Listen, Take Action

Of all the books I've read, tapes I've listened to, and workshops I've attended, this audiobook is probably the most amazing thing I've ever heard... and I thought I had heard everything. The collection of lies, while both powerful and revealing, are delivered in such as way that you likely will be smiling at some of the lies we tell ourselves, and nodding your head in agreement with others. This audiobook alone was worth my one year membership at audible.com.

Pretty good

Had I noticed it was from Steve Chandler I would have never gotten this book, mainly because I remember really hating his voice on another audio. I think Steve has greatly improved, and the material in this book is truly valuable too. I really like it.
