Mastering motivation is the defining skill of your life. It leads to all of the energy, discipline, enthusiasm, and sustained focus and drive needed to live an extraordinary life. But a LOT of people *lose* their sense of it. They don't know how to summon it, sustain it, amplify it. So they fall into "going through the motions" and live below their potential. They "slog through" the day and don't realize their full powers. They fall prey to the nonsense teaching that "discipline is more important than motivation" so don't worry about it. (Discipline, in fact, is not possible without motive - it's the motive that drives the discipline of course). So this [free series on the podcast]( will feel like a REVOLUTION OF MIND for so many. The Declarations of each chapter boom like thunder in these chaotic times. Please listen and [download them all]( before I have to remove them. (Why remove them? Because publishing only lets you do limited previews). THE STORY of this book was the wildest journey for me. I spent 3 years researching it and two years learning to master the revolutionist rhetoric as I wrote. I wanted the Manifesto to sound classical, but with fire, pulling from the leaders of revolution and how they spoke about the vital promise of finding (and protecting) our personal freedoms. But... The original publisher hated it. They wanted fluffy stories about me, not a manifesto. They said the book was unpublishable and unmarketable. They threatened to cancel the contract if I didn't rewrite it to be, in my words, popcorn art. They wanted a book about me and stories that resonated with easy trite reading not deep revolution. So, after they demeaned my art, made fun of me (yes, literally), and threatneed my livelihood, I took the greatest leap of my career. I found another publisher who believed in the style (and me). Hay House saved the project (thank you Reid!) and published the book May 2014. It became an instant New York Times bestselling phenom. The book led to me meeting Oprah. To sold out events. To keynoting arenas. To coaching the world's best. To meeting so many of you. To finding strength and deep gratitude for following my heart and fighting for my art. After weeks on the New York Times bestseller list, the then-CEO of the publishing house that canceled my contract wrote a letter, apologizing for how I was treated and the mistakes they made. This was unreal! So, it's sort of a big deal for me personally today, to release this audiobook to you all for free 10 years later. I hope you enjoy it. Thank you, always, for supporting my writing and teaching. I love you all. 10 years. I know this wasn't a fancy email but it's got me in tears just reflecting on all this. 10 years of life goes by fast. Wow. Thank God I knew these declarations bc they carried me through that time and into this great joy of working for you, every day. - Brendon
