Publisher's summary

Fun fact: Hitting rock bottom doesn’t physically hurt.

Not-so-fun fact: Emotional, spiritual, and mental rock bottom sucks.

In just such a rock-bottom moment, Laban Ditchburn sought help. Sure, he had great friends, a great career, and weekends that would go down in the annals of history. But, underneath it all, Laban was crippled by addiction. Drugs, gambling, drinking, sex, junk food, negative self-talk, limiting self-beliefs ruled his life, catalyzing countless acts of stupidity that nearly landed him in the grave. This is the story of how one party boy went from zero to hero, and how you can too. If you’re slowly spiraling out of control; if you’re not having nearly as much fun as you used to; if you know you need a course correct, like now; these raw, real-life stories will give you the permission to change, all on your terms. If you have a feeling deep inside that you’re destined for much greater things...

If you know there’s a reason for being on this planet, this is your time to take massive and courageous action. Now is the time to "bet on you"!

Can’t tell which is better: the message or the story telling

Hands down one of the best books ever. I was captivated by the story telling and garnered strange looks while I cried laughing on a plane. This book is grounded, relevant, hilarious, shocking, powerful and entertaining. Laban delivers truth and wisdom in the most practical, no bullshit - no excuses way that makes you feel like if he can do it - you absolutely can too.

Laughing and Crying

I met Laban a week before buying his book. What an amazing and funny guy in person. We became fast friends. Little did I realize who I had just met. Upon reading his book, or better yet, having it performed in the most entertaining way by Laban, with the energy and enthusiasm of the Crocodile Hunter meets Jim Carrey and Robin Williams, this was a Grammy-worthy performance by the author. I listened mostly as I worked out. Often I would have to drop the weights I was laughing so hard. Other times I was absolutely touched by the poignant nature of his powerful points and messaging.
I love this guy.
I highly recommend this book to anyone needing motivation and inspiration.
It is not safe for work language but is perfect for someone needing a vacation from the doldrums of work life and taken into the adventures of Laban’s astounding life and perspective. I can’t wait to read his next one.

As real as it gets...

Laban’s gift for being authentic along with his obvious knack for story telling, make this a GREAT listen for anyone who wants to overcome challenging circumstances or deeply entrenched addictive behaviors and become the best version of yourself. I highly recommend it!

Wild, witty, crazy, and 100% inspiring

I saw a snippet of Laban Ditchburn on Brad Lea's video podcast and was hooked. "Who IS this guy? He's obviously got a story and I gotta hear it!" I immediately nabbed the audiobook and devoured it.

WARNING: it's not for the faint of heart. Laban's tales are raw, raucous, and raunchy. So much that you start to wonder if you're hearing Matthew McConaughey's adventures with an Aussie twang. Once I even raced to the Internet to see if "that" story was true. (You'll know it when you hear it, and yes...it's true.)

But it's fantastic! Laban is a fabulous writer and narrator, packed with talent. His linguistic prowess is gripping, and his jovial-but-earnest vocal talent is spellbinding.

Behind all that talent you see the core of a man whose title of The World's Best Courage Coach is hard-earned. Anyone who can crawl out of the self-loathing and pain he suffered deserves it. But it's not about Laban at all. It's about overcoming everything that holds you back...and discovering that, even when you seem destined for the slithery pit of purgatory, you can bet on yourself and WIN.

Loved it so much finished in one long walk!

Laban's journey of transformation is inspiring. I discovered Laban via Brad Lea's podcast and also now love Laban's podcast. So much great content for your transformational journey when ready. Thanks, Laban for sharing your story!
