A whole new perspective!

I didn’t even know I was really afraid of failure. This was eye opening and gave me good tools to start chasing failure.

Amazing

Bonus material was spot on. It helped round out the book and the ending brought tears and motivation.

Mindset Altering

Loved the content, the stories and the transparency. Found this book by "accident" and I'm so grateful! This is already one of those books where I can look back say it changed my life. Thanks to the author for chasing failure again. I'm motivated to chase failure too!

Ryan is amazing

This book is so good! You can listen to it a few times and learn so much from this. Ryan reads so well and make you feel like he is talking directly to you and not just an audience.

Not for Me

Started off alright and I had high hopes for this one but it’s not for me. Instead of feeling encouraged in striving for greatness I felt I was being ‘dragged back to reality’ which, it is what it is but many times when listening to a book I want to hear about overcoming and continuing to strive despite the trouble faced. I don’t really want to hear about how hard life can be and to be realistic and not even try in certain instances. May be great for some people but not something I enjoyed listening to, especially when trying to get into a productive mindset to start the day.

Great narration, motivating

As a recovering perfectionist, the concept of chasing failure really appeals to me. Leak is a lively and funny narrator. Christian-themed but not overwhelmingly so. Recommend for anyone looking to try new things and adopt a positive mindset.

Excellent

Best motivational book I've listened to in a long time. Thanks for writing the 5th edition.

Loved this book! Every time I listen to Ryan Leak, it's always the right message at the right time. He's my favorite speaker that inspires me in so many ways whether it's in church or listening to one of his podcasts. I can't wait for another new book to come out!
