Summary

The follow up to James Smith’s international number one bestseller, Not a Diet Book.

  • Do you love your job?
  • Does your future excite you?
  • Are your relationships working for you?

James Smith is back to challenge everything you thought you knew about the path to fulfilment and happiness. With hard-hitting home truths and a helping of tough love, be prepared to re-set your outlook, redefine your goals and truly consider:

What does SUCCESS truly mean to you?

Now, more than ever, is the time to take back control. Time to stop sleep-walking through your life; to challenge the status quo; and to truly ask yourself if you’re on the right path to success, happiness and fulfilment.

Only you can take the reins of your own life and choose to make a change, but with invaluable experience, a hunger for genuine happiness, and a drive to be the kind of coach he needed when his life was broken, James can give you the tools to do it.

‘Meet the man changing the way you think about fitness. One of the most sought-after personal trainers in the world (who has) knocked current fitness It boy @JoeWicks for six and stolen the coveted crown of the fitness world’ Sunday Times Style

Not a Diet Book mercilessly takes down every fad diet, workout and health drink you have been sold and instead explains [James’] mission to make understanding weight-loss as two words – calorie deficit.’ The Sun

‘Personal trainer James Smith’s new book, Not a Diet Book, offers frank advice on getting in shape and busts some major diet myths.’ Grazia

‘James’ book is the tough love version of life coaching. He tells you straight, refers to his own experiences in life and makes you laugh along the way.’ Metro

The book I needed as an 18 year old!

The book I didn’t know I needed.
So many things to take away from this, make notes & implement in day to day life. Questioning myself with each thing I’m doing since starting this book - in particular putting things off - Why not now? What am I waiting for?
Having read many books such as Atomic Habits, The Chimp Paradox, The 5am Club etc.
This is by far one of my favourite for putting things into perspective in simple terms for me to take away & action day to day.
Summing this up in one word - POWERFUL.
Highly recommended!

Very relatable content as always from JS

I've been a fan of JS for a while now watch all his content upto now his 2 books are the only two I have listened to. I enjoy how he interprets concepts and simplifies them. Very enjoyable listen thanks James.

This book may just change your life, if you let it.

James had taken his life experiences (up to date) and information he has attained from other great non-fiction reads, and condensed them down into a format for his following and his future followers.
James’ work isn’t for everyone, and that’s ok. He’s only here to help those that want it or even just a nudge of encouragement in the right direction.
Beautifully read with his own punchy anecdotes it’s an enjoyable listen on a walk or on a long drive. Even on the toilet if you like.
Doesn’t matter where you listen to it... JUST DO IT!!

An audible kick up the backside which we all need from time to time.

Warning: this book might make you take a long hard
look at yourself and your life, the good bits and bad bits and if you’re lucky, make some evaluations.
Ideally you might take action on the shit you don’t really like that much and make your life that little bit cooler.
Enjoyable listen. 5stars.

Listened to over 2 days, addictive listening

I've always been a fan of self help books and this is by far the best one I've came across.

incredibly interesting and educational.

Easy to listen to without feeling overwhelmed with jargon like some other books I've invested my time in.
