The Way of the Fight

By: Georges St-Pierre

Narrated by: Eric Stone

There’s more to winning battles than fists and feet

For world-renowned professional fighter Georges St-Pierre, the greatest asset is not physical strength or athleticism—it’s a sense of purpose. From his beginnings as a small, mercilessly bullied child first discovering karate to his years as a struggling garbage collector who spent all his free time in the gym, his hard-fought rise in the sport of mixed martial arts, and his long, painful recovery from a career-threatening injury, Georges never lost sight of his ambition to become the greatest martial artist of all time. In The Way of the Fight, Georges for the first time reveals what propelled him not only to become a champion but to embrace obstacles as opportunities to build character.

Georges’s story is interwoven with fascinating insights from those who know him best: his mother, who tells of his drive to master new skills, even as a child. His mentor Kristof Midoux, who describes a young fighter with an extraordinary sense of discipline. His Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teacher John Danaher, who witnessed the development of an indomitable work ethic. His coach Firas Zahabi, who worked alongside the champion through a potentially career-ending injury. And his longtime friend, training partner and manager, Rodolphe Beaulieu, who may understand this intensely focused athlete more than anyone.

The Way of the Fight is an inspirational look into the mindset of a master. To Georges, all life is competition, and there’s no more perfect metaphor for competition than the life of a fighter. He explains the value of discipline, risk and even fear, with the wisdom of one who knows that nothing is assured—his next fight could always be his last. Drawing inspiration from fighting legends, Eastern philosophy and a trusted inner circle, The Way of the Fight is a powerful, life-changing guide to living with purpose and finding the way to accomplish your loftiest goals.

Great Lessons

I really enjoyed the mindset of one of the best fighters out there. He really gets down to earth and explains the realities of fear and how he has handled those issues. Also a great look into how dedication will get you where you need to be.

5 out of 5 no doubt

if you want to have an insight of how the brain of an elite sports performer works this is the book of choice.

a very inspiring and worthy audiobook if you like mma and sport psychology. GSP is a legend and is quite interesting to hear him and his team stories and thoughts

the only one thing i dislike about the audio was the tone and pace of the narrator, at first it was a little bit odd but get used to quickly and despite that i really enjoy the book .

greetings from Argentina!! hope this review motivates more people to get this book because really worth it.

Progress comes from Openness

Those were the last words spoken by George in his book. I learned so much from him. how to be a balanced martial artist, how to stay focused on a big goal, how to approach fear, and to never stop learning.

GSP is the real deal, and this book is a terrific personal development guide. it distinguishes itself from other generic personal development books because it was written by a real world champion who knows struggle and winning, not just some theoretical philosopher...

Amazing

The book is amazing. It is one of my all time favorites. I really enjoyed it. Thank you Georges

Wisdom

This book was very transparent and truly shows how people should respect themselves. Know thyself. Great book and this is definitely a champion mindset.
