How To Try Again

'How to Try Again is a fun rebuttal to toxic positivity and a world full of over-optimized morning routines. Steve Kamb tells the truth: humans are weird and change is hard. Honest, funny, and genuinely useful.' -Mark Manson, best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*** 'How to Try Again is like a warm, insightful pep talk from your best friend. Kamb pushes back against unrealistic optimization culture and offers humane, practical tools for navigating life when things don’t go as planned. This big-hearted book is packed with stories and humor that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.' **-David Epstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Range and The Sports Gene The personal development book for people that don’t have time for personal development.** Some people wake up at 4am, run 15 miles barefoot, and have an ice bath... this book is for the rest of us. Let’s start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected, and can surprise us at the worst possible time. In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn’t work) and still get things done. Drawing from his 17 years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at NerdFitness.com, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories, and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life’s chaos. In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to: Embrace failure as the first step, not the last. Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free. Strategically tread water when overwhelmed. Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through. This book isn't for the superhuman few; it’s for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change.
