Change Your Life Forever

By: Steve Chandler

Narrated by: Steve Chandler

Length: 1 hr and 30 mins

Publisher's summary

Live the life you've always wanted to live! 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself is packed with techniques for breaking down negative barriers and pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling your goals and dreams. It's easy to get stuck in a humdrum life and only fantasize about what "could have been". Motivational speaker Steve Chandler helps you change that way of thinking to what "will be". His ideas will help you create an action plan for living out your vision.

You will be intrigued at some of the real-life experiences upon which Steve has based his techniques: from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who told the author in 1976 that he was going to be the number-one box office star in Hollywood (at the time, Arnold was only a body builder with a heavy Austrian accent), to Leonard Nimoy, whose life was reshaped through the rational, logical thought of Spock, the character he played on Star Trek.

100 Ways to Motivate Yourself is filled with proven methods for changing the way you think and developing self-creation. Steve draws on the feedback he's received from corporate and public seminar students to ensure that his methods work.

Good content but the narrator sounds uninspired

Ironically, the book's author and narrator could've used a hell of a lot more motivation and expression during his reading of this book. That said, the material is solid, concise, and positive.

Love this author!

If you could sum up 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself in three words, what would they be?

Very practical, hands-on book that I go back again and again when I hit a wall.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The author reads his own work and has a great voice.

Have you listened to any of Steve Chandler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

What did you learn from 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself that you would use in your daily life?

too many usable tips to just choose one!

This book is refreshing. I will listen again

This audio book is quite refreshing .I will listen to it over and over again from time to time. Glad to have it in my collection.

Great content well worth the short listen / read

For being read by the author the performance was very lackluster and uninspired. However the material is worthwhile.

Enjoyed the book & the motivation suggestions

the voice seemed overall very monotonous & lacked the enthusiasm for the type of book it. is.

Great Insights and Concise

I love Steven Chandler’s books, especially when he reads them. He has a great voice and his intonation conveys more than the words. Just strategies for self motivation are right on target! I will listen to this one regularly.

I find the "boring" narrative very refreshing.

I am listening to the audible version of this book as I write this. Contrary to some other reviews, I find the boring, blah...whatever you want to call it. But, I have been pretty unmotivated for a while since a breakup from a long relationship. I've listened to so many audible books with people who sounded like they were SO upbeat...but it sounded false to me. I didn't want someone on the other end to try and inspire me with all the "hype", excited sounding voice.....and so on. I'm already feeling that this audible book IS going to motivate me...or I should say, help ME to motivate MYSELF. It's helping me see I don't need these "get over your breakup" books; I just need to get motivated to begin a new future and the only one who can do that is ME. One thing among many that has helped me see some things that are holding me back is "turn off the TV"...I've been "hiding" in mindless TV for a while now...it's NOT going to be turned on today. I've already been motivated by several suggestions and I have not even finished listening to this book. I love it that he is not "acting" excited, sounding so "upbeat" that it makes me want to stop listening before I finish...he's just speaks in a matter-of-fact sort of way and I find it very easy to listen and take his suggestions to heart. I also love the fact that he doesn't have any psychological "babble" inserted, no history of how psychologists have discovered WHY I'm not motivated. I didn't want to hear any of that...I've heard it all before and I just don't care. I just wanted suggestions...and that's what he gives....#1 through #100 and he explains in a short manner ways to put that suggestion into action. I'm going to be listening to this one over and over and over and....well, you get the idea. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants WAYS to get motivated without any mindless psychobabble.

Get Engaged

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would absolutely recommend this audiobook to anyone. I've listened to it twice already and will listen to it a lot more. Every one of the "100 ways" is red meat for success.

What did you like best about this story?

Every bit of it is true and should be taken very seriously if one intends to move forward.

What about Steve Chandler’s performance did you like?

Steve did a great job.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself?

One that keeps sticking with me is the 4 circles which keeps you on track for daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

Worth it!

100 great ideas; most will resonate with you; a few will truly spark greatness within you, if you let it. Author sounds unenthusiastic while reading this, but don't let that keep you from hearing this great message.

Pretty good tips

These are valid things I can do to improve my life, easy and practical. I'm glad to listen to this book once in awhile. Maybe I will actually do some of them.
