Publisher's summary

Josh Holyfield is a combat veteran with over 15 years of experience deploying and supporting the US Army and Special Operations. Josh used health fitness to help him overcome the mental and emotional challenges of serving in the military during combat deployments and then transitioning from that career to becoming a civilian.

For over a decade after his military service, he worked as a federal contractor and federal employee serving global SOF operations, and in 2019, he started The Josh Holyfield Project. Since starting, he's helped over 40,000 men with the tools and resources needed to transform their bodies and minds using techniques that focus on creating sustainable habits rather than short-term results. In early 2021, he walked away from his federal position to help men full-time by offering programming and coaching to men worldwide.

This book serves as a guide for men who are tired of being tired and are looking for the tools they need to step back into their power as masculine leaders, rebuid their confidence, and defeat the war against mediocrity.

Wish I would have read (Listened to) sooner.

I've participated in Josh Holyfield's coaching program and the book goes hand and hand with the way they coach, I've originally participated in coaching to loose weight and get into shape, But the value of the Mental Growth I've had from this book and his coaching is something I cannot even put words to.

Exactly what I needed to hear!

Mr. Holyfield is spot on with a lot of what he talks about and it’s what I needed in my life at this time to reenergize my personal growth! This book is blunt, honest, and passionately written and I resonated with a lot of what was said! Thank you Mr Holyfield for writing this

Qualities every man or leader should know

This book is a no bullshit fireside chat of the qualities needed to overcome obstacles and succeed as a man or a leader. I passed this book along to both my daughter and son. This book is for build strong characters for either gender, but authored towards men.

Listen to it twice

This book is very telling as to what can occur when you stop taking care of yourself and your business . It also is a great way to start a fire under your ass and make you wake up to the fact you aren’t shit and can always do better.

BE A MAN AND GET THIS BOOK!

If you’re a man you need this book, I’m about to start it over again. I started and finished it in a day at work. I’m a retired Air Force A-10 Jet troop and now work as a maintenance man for a investment group. I’ve been debating starting my lawn care and maintenance business back up after retiring in Georgia then moving to Ohio for two years and then back to Georgia. This book has told me what I NEED to do and follow my heart and Gods word. Mediocrity has overcome me in the last two years and I’m tired of it, just being comfortable isn’t cutting it. I want more from life and for my wife and kids to strive for the same thing. This book just confirmed what I’ve been thinking. Josh, you’re the inspiration I needed my man, from one Josh to another, thank you! I felt your words in my being.

Now I’m going to start the book again while I’m not working so I can really consume the teachings. Thank you brother……. Thank you
