Publisher's summary

A New York Times best seller! In a world that feels increasingly disconnected, it’s time to reclaim a life of rich, authentic connection—because we are all made better when we trust one another and work together.

In his most vulnerable book to date, Chip Gaines opens up about his lifelong pursuit of building relationships with people from all walks of life. Chip emphasizes the importance of seeing people for who they are and not for what they can do for you, enabling you to build a strong community and a life of meaning, joy, and connection.

How does it happen? By being intentional about choosing the company you keep. Chip explains the value of seeking out people who are electrified by living according to their purpose, who will stand beside you as you tackle new challenges, and who bet on each other instead of the status quo. The key is being true to yourself, figuring out what you want to do with your life, and finding people who will lift you up along the way.

No Pain, No Gaines will open your eyes to valuable lessons, including how to:

  • Find the risks worth taking
  • Value what you bring to the table
  • Resist the status quo
  • Look outside yourself and your circle and foster connections with others
  • Get comfortable with being uncomfortably kind
  • Live life fully awake, not asleep at the wheel

A good life doesn't always come easy, but that's because the good stuff never does. It requires faith in people. It requires faith in yourself. It requires hope. And it requires a willingness to grow even when it hurts. In No Pain, No Gaines, through hard-won lessons and personal stories all told with his trademark blend of wit and wisdom, Chip Gaines will coach you on how to make your life rich and your relationships run deep.

Accompanying interactive components are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

He does it again!

I read Chip’s first book and was blown away by the man, Chip Gaines, but also the valuable life lessons he shares. He sees the good in people even when they do him wrong. This book was no different. Many valuable lessons to be learned here if you’ll really dig it. Thank you, Chip!

Engaging and absorbing

I loved this book. So much so I’ll be listening to it again. Chip is engaging, vulnerable and his storytelling makes it easy to remember the endless tips and wisdom about living the good life. Which the bottom line is how to be yourself in a world that values cookie cutter careers, behavior, paths and education. I don’t fit in either, Chip. Another trail blazer like you & Joanna. I look forward to meeting you both some day! Thank you for such a valuable share given without judgement and an A thru Z index of do it like me & you’ll be successful. This book is full if heart, soul & love, beautiful!
