Publisher's summary

A galvanizing playbook for success from Steven Bartlett, one of the world’s most exciting entrepreneurs and the host of the No. 1 podcast The Diary of a CEO

"This is a must-read for anyone dreaming of doing something audacious."
Jay Shetty

"Valuable lessons about the importance of following a different and unconventional path to power.”
Robert Greene

At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I’ve conducted on my chart-topping podcast - are a set of principles that ensure excellence.

These fundamental laws underpinned my meteoric rise, and they will fuel yours too, whether you want to build something great or become someone great. The laws are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, in my own experiences, and those of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, entertainers, artists, writers, and athletes, who I’ve interviewed on my podcast.

These laws will stand the test of time and will help anyone master their life and unleash their potential, no matter the field.

They are the secret sauce to success.

Critic reviews

"Weaving the latest research, his own experiences, and captivating stories, Steven guides readers to redefine success and achieve their potential. This is a must-read for anyone dreaming of doing something audacious." -Jay Shetty, New York Times bestselling author & award winning host of On Purpose

"There is a new breed of CEO taking over the business world. The blustery, chest beating CEOs who act like they make no mistakes are being replaced by CEOs who talk about their feelings, lead with curiosity and are willing to work on themselves...and Steven Bartlett is leading the revolution! The Diary Of A CEO is an essential companion for any leader who wants to take themselves on and lead us into the next generation." -Simon Sinek, Optimist and New York Times bestselling author of Start with Why and The Infinite Game

"I’ve watched Steven Bartlett’s journey from the start, always knowing he had that raw, fiery spark. Seeing him harness it, seeing him succeed, damn, it fills me with pure, undiluted pride. I’m on the sidelines, cheering him on, because this guy embodies the entrepreneur’s spirit." -Gary Vaynerchuck, author of Twelve and a Half

The Best I’ve Read

The laws are smart, versatile and pliable. Steven is very impressive and it’s going to be a pleasure working with him in a year or two. Yes, I’m saying it here.

after the first few minutes, I bought the hardcopy

5 cups and I am determined to start with the first one for the rest of this period of my life until I am ready for the next and then the next....in order diligently and honestly. First thing I learnt was to evaluate where I am..
am I already knowledgeable and have applied that knowledge? am I ready to release and distill that knowledge clearly...if I am not gonna attract the right people and develop the reputation I will soon learn is who I am, yet.

Sooo...I have work to do. So work I shall.

Thanks for making use of that brain of yours Steven. Live long, healthy, hungry for knowledge and keep teaching yourself so I can learn from you. The best use of time is truly understanding how to make yourself the best self and most useful and that you are doing so keep it up.

Actionable insights for life

Love this author and this book. He has critical experience himself (credibility) and continually learns from the best in every vertical and synthesizes key learnings into actionable life laws, here in this book. Highly recommend.

Wow! Great insights into life and business!

I had never heard of Steven’s podcast. Saw the title on audible and read the description and took a chance. As a retired CEO myself, I have to say I wish I had heard this book when I was 30. It would have saved me a lot of pain and heartache. Steven’s lessons taught me so much essential wisdom while also being extremely entertaining. I’m going to make my son read this!
