About this listen
The idea that you could be more but got in your own way should wake you up in the middle of the night. Dave Hollis used to think that “personal growth” was just for broken people, then he woke up.
When a looming career funk, a growing drinking problem, and a challenging trek through therapy battered Dave Hollis, a Disney executive and father of four, he began to realize he was letting untruths about himself dictate his life. As he sank to the bottom of his valley, he had to make a choice. Would he push himself out of his comfort zone to become the best man he was capable of being, or would he play it safe and settle for mediocrity?
In Get Out of Your Own Way, Dave tackles topics he once found it difficult to be honest about, things like his struggles with alcohol and his insecurities about being a dad.
Offering encouragement, challenges, and a hundred moments to laugh, Dave will help you:
- Discover the way for those of us who are, like he was, skeptical of self-help but wanting something more than the status quo
- Drop negative ideas about who we are supposed to be and finally start living as who we really are
- See our own journeys more clearly as he unpacks the lies he once believed—such as “I Have to Have It All Together” and “Failure Means You’re Weak”
- Learn the tools that helped him change his life, and may change your life too
Get Out of Your Own Way is a call to arms for anyone who’s interested in a more fulfilled life, who, along the way, may have lost their “why” and now wonders how to unlock their potential or be better for their loved ones.

Loved This Book - Highly Recommend
Couldn't put it down... now that is a good book! So many helpful pieces of advice with snippets of insight as to why I behave like I do and why I need to just sort my shit out. I kept thinking of so many others who would benefit by reading this book too. Love how he gave so many examples and stories to help me get the most out of learning about ways and behaviors . I am going to buy the hard copy now to highlight pieces that I found worthy of looking into in a deeper level 🙏

Powerful in its simplicity of message and acknowledging what stands in your way
Kudos to you, Dave Hollis; such a powerful recount of what a path to get to the starting line of a fulfilling life of growth looks like, and acknowledging those seemingly little (but actually gigantic) things that stand so cleary in your way when you have the courage to do the work, ‘see’ them, and ‘move’, even when you don’t feel like it. It is an absolute honour to have seen you rise in the last two years, and read the tale in your compelling and powerfully simple book. A must read for anyone wanting to create a fulfilling life, and reach for more. Kudos.

Not good
This is a self help book written by a very well off and successful person who used book writing as a vice to help himself through a rough period.
There are large periods where it feels very much like he's attacking his audience, some of which could be in a vulnerable position. Lots of "My life is great, I work out, sleep with my wife and donate lots of money to charity. If you don't do this, your life must suck."
The conclusion to this book was unbelievably painful to get through. Overly judgemental, unhealthy and unhelpful advice.
It also falls very flat, with his advice on how to live healthily and romantically with your spouse when you learn some unfortunate information about his life after this book was published.
Yes you might gain a couple of helpful insights, but this is not a good motivational book.

Not a good read to me
was hard work by halfway through. the author has good intentions but I personally think that the context is a bit forced. It seems like a pretty average story/ experience doesn't mean you need to write a book about it just because your wife did. Some should stick to their day job. I wish I'd donated the money to charity instead of listening to half of it.
