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.

This book exceeded my expectations

I am so grateful that I listened to this audiobook. Some of the chapters hit harder than I thought it would.

I’m so grateful that Dave shared so openly. It’s taking a major stumbling block out of my way.

I love you guys so much. Thanks for showing up for us in the way that you do.

Fantastic!

Loved Dave's first book, really hope he writes more!! I love Dave's honesty and the heartwarming tales of how he & Rachel pushed through hard times and reaped the rewards later on. I'm a huge fan of the Hollis family and the Hollis co and Dave's book did not disappoint xx

Great Book

I listen to lots of self development books and so I wasn't sure if this would bring anything that I hadn't already heard before, but it really did. Great book and worth a listen.

Great stories and motivation

Dave is honest and acknowledges the differences from himself and life but still gives useful practical ideas to follow to get out of your own way and make more of your life. Great running company!
