About this ebook
The bestselling author of My Orange Duffel Bag helps readers “overcome obstacles, set a big vision, and define a life of purpose greater than self” (Michael K. Simpson, author of Unlocking Potential).
Sam Bracken’s backstory would make Dr. Phil turn tail and run. During his childhood, he suffered years of abuse and was even set on fire by a relative. What didn’t kill Bracken made him stronger. And he is now on a mission to bring self-empowerment to others—to realize a life of grit and grace.
This book is about achieving a purpose-driven life. You’ll have to push past failure again and again. And it is also about beating the odds no matter how high they are stacked against you. To be a true leader, you have to start with yourself. In Sam Bracken’s GUTS, you will learn about:
“Sam Bracken had no advantages, but went from being a hopeless street kid to a champion college football player. In this insightful book, he illustrates how success in life is less about talent, wealth, or good luck, and more about GUTs. And having GUTs is a choice anyone can make!” —Sean Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
