How To Try Again

The personal development book for people who don’t have time for personal development.

Some people wake up at 4 a.m., 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 seventeen years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at Nerd Fitness, 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. The overworked parents, burned-out employees and frustrated people who can’t seem to make progress.

It’s time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick – without the guilt.
