Own It!!! Work for It!

Are you looking for the motivation to change your life? Get in better shape or get more out of life? DDP tells how he made it to success in life in several different careers. He uses several other peoples transformation using his system to help motivate you.
It is basic principles to change your life but most of us need help getting started and a good plan to make it happen. This is a good road map to get there but you have to put in the work to make it happen. Basically ‘Own It’

The narrator is a little annoying at first but it didn’t take long to get used to his voice and embrace it.

I am into my second time through the book and am trying to implement some of the simple principles immediately.

The last few chapters are a synopsis of DDPY program and what is offered in the DVD’s or the app. I plan on purchasing those in the near future. I am ready to make a life change and get out of the same routine that hasn’t led me anywhere special. Enjoy the book, take it to heart, and implement it and anything is possible.

ONE BIG INFOMERCIAL (And I love it!)

I have watched the online videos that Diamond Dallas Page has and of course, the Arthur video that I never ever get tired of seeing, but I really didn't know much about DDP himself. The book has many success stories of both wrestlers and everyday people and the background on DDP. I wasn't a huge wrestling fan (and you don't have to be either to enjoy his story), but had definitely heard of him and most of the wrestlers that he has worked with. Loved hearing stories about Dusty Rhodes and some of the others in here, but genuinely found myself really interested in the whole story of DDP and how he went from a football player and hockey player to having to switch to basketball because of an injury and then working so hard that he played in college. You can tell that he does everything 90% (read and you will understand) and there isn't much that could stop him from going where he wants to go.

I love how passionate DDP is about his program and especially about helping people. He even emailed people who bought his program and wasn't just interested in making the money, but was genuinely interested in helping them. I am sold on him and his program and just started it this week. I don't need to lose hundreds of pounds, but just turned 50 and could lose 25-30 pounds to feel better and definitely could reap the benefits of both yoga and additional exercise. My wife is doing this with me as well and we completed the Diamond Dozen which goes over most of the positions that will be used and we were both not only impressed, but also could feel the workout in our arms and legs and this wasn't even a workout, just a 20 minute video on learning the positions. I can't wait to see where I am after a few months of doing this.

Horrible Narrator

DDP would have been so much better off had he chosen to narrate the entire book himself.

Stay Positive.

You cannot fail. Own it. And keep moving forward. This is more than a self help book, its a great book to start 2019.

to me, it is a commercial for ddpy program.

very dissapointed. It is information I already knew, based on having his app, his dvds fb page etc. unfortunately was nor what I thought it was.

Buy It, Live It, Own It!

I've been listening to several audiobooks lately and the newest is Positively Unstoppable: The Art of Owning It by Diamond Dallas Page. I recently interviewed Dallas, and he was a pleasure to speak with. I've been eagerly anticipating his book for a while now, and I devoured it in record time. As expected, it's excellent. From the foreword by Mick Foley to the fitness and nutritional recommendations, Positively Unstoppable is jam-packed with useful information that will educate and inspire you to live your best life.



This audiobook features several narrators but Joe Barrett is the one who handles the bulk of the narration. At first, I found his voice to be grating and melodramatic but eventually I got past that and was able to focus on the content of the book itself. I enjoyed Dallas narrating the introduction and I wish he had done the entire book. However, as he says, he chose to have a professional narrator tackle this one.


Positively Unstoppable is great for people like myself who are DDPY devotees, as well as those who know nothing about Diamond Dallas Page and his health and wellness program. By reading - or listening - to this book, you'll learn more about Dallas and yourself. It will give you a new perspective on what you eat, how you exercise, and, most importantly, how you can own your life. It's one of the best books I've ever read and my favorite book of the year so far. Buy it, live it, own it!


Loved it! very Inspiring

this book would have been great for someone that is not a wrestling fan, but it was amazing for me as a life long fan. I grew up watching the guys he talked about in the book and knew some of the stories about them already, but it was cool to hear more of the stories.

I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life. I was an athlete in high school and then let myself fall to shit. I am 5' 10" and at my biggest I was up to about 343 lbs (which was about 5-6 months ago). i finally had a wake up call this past December when my sugar levels were for the 1st time in prediabetic levels. I was having some surgery on my hand in Jan and the doctors told me I had to have a special appointment with the anesthesiologist due to my bmi... This was a kick in the nuts, but one I needed. it finally made me get serious about making life changes.

Early in January I changed my diet and eating habits completely. I didnt add in exercise at first because I wanted to lose some of the weight and get used to the new eating habits first. I had been debating DDPY for a long time as I had heard Jericho talk about it on his podcast and from several other things on the internet. My joints hurt from carrying so much weight for so long, so I knew I needed something low impact. I finally signed up a few days ago and have just begun the workouts, but wanted to listen to this book as well, and I am so glad I did. It really helped to get me energized and excited about what I was doing and about my journey. "Dont think it, Ink it" really hit home and I wrote down my goal, I will be at 220 lbs by Dec 31st. I'm already well on my way as I just broke the 300 lb barrier this weekend and I cannot wait to take back over my life!

When DDP was talking to one of his customers and referenced the fact that "Everytime you sit down to eat a plate of unhealthy food that you know is killing you, you are basically telling those you love - Fuck you, this food is more important to me than you" (paraphrased), I about cried, because I knew that I had been in that position over and over for the last several years. my family is my world and I had been neglecting them by neglecting myself!

I am thankful to have found the program as my wife, and my step daughter (both of whom are also overweight) have decided they liked what they saw me doing and really wanted to try it as well. It truly may have chamged saved several lives.

Make your life your own.

Great insight into DDP's life and how he overcame so many obstacles and helped so many along the way to healing! It helped me appreciate his story and realize that change is not an event but a progression. He was in an accident in his teens, taught himself to read, was in the bar scene... had a dream then went to become a wrestler in his 30's- broke his back then came back and was a world champion then went on to start a business and the challenges that go along with that- and wow, the people who he's inspired. My takeaway: You never stop growing and learning from obstacles, it's your choice to keep moving forward X numbers of years from now you will wish you had started at this moment. Thanks DDP!:)

not what I thought

I thought it was going to be something else. already had the yoga and heard the podcast with him pretty much all the book is. I do recommend you get the yoga it's awesome

Motivated.

Great book! There are some absolute gems in this bad boy. I usually listen to audiobooks during my work commute. When the engine starts so does the book. When the engine stops, so does the book....but not with this one. Positively Unstoppable had me sitting in my driveway after an hour commute finishing up chapters. This book is packed with entertaining stories and health gems. The only drawback...the narrator. That voice is whack and if not for the content I would have bailed in the first chapter. That being said....

DONT BAIL BECAUSE OF THE NARRATOR.

You get used to it in some weird way. Hold fast.

Narrator aside, this book is a great one if you are looking for an entertaining ride into a healthier you. Dont be scared. Just buy it.

does what it says on the cover

very supportive. am feeling so much better now and positive. ready to change. well spoken and easy to follow and understand.

No-nonsense inspiration to change

As a reserved English person with no knowledge of American wrestling I wondered how I would find this, but I loved DDPs refreshingly honest no-nonsense approach.

A great book!

I loved this book. I was a little deflated when I realised it wasn't narrated by DDP himself but I got over that once I got into it. I really enjoyed the different chapters of the people that joined the DDPY movement. It was really interesting to hear their stories and inspirations. It has certainly made me think twice about the food I eat... in a good way.
Very inspirational. I would recommend!!

Inspirational Story

I really enjoyed this book. I grew up watching wrestling so this is a no brainer for any wrestling fan. listening to DDP's journey was inspirational.

If you are not a wrestling fan you will still get some fantastic advice from the author.

The best part for me was DDP not starting his professional wrestling journey until he was 35! Most professional sports personnel are retiring by this age and he was only starting and he still reached the top. Age is just a number.

A truly fantastic audio book

From cover to cover I couldn't stop listening and no doubt I will listen to it again and again.

Love the words, not the voice

You can learn so much from this book. It is key that you should read this at least once, and what you do with the information he gives you is up to you to decide! As I said, the book is brilliant, but the audiobooks voice fell short for me personally, but you may think differently :)

This book could change your mindset and lifestyle

This book is a way to wrestle with everything that's held you back from having the life and energy you need. It's motivational , honest ,and raw. It will help you to get real. If ou do what is suggested and take actions mentioned here you will reap the rewards .

Outstanding!

Love the book! DDP is such a cool guy and a great example of not giving up and believing in himself.

Bang!

it took time to get the narration as I was expecting to hear DDP narrate

Amazing

Fantastic listen, listened to it on my holidays and has already given me a fantastic positive outlook going forward. Will definitely listen again when I start his ddpy programme.
