"What I learned from Greg is still a part of who I am today."--Tom Brady, 7-time Super Bowl champion 

Greg Harden changes lives. 

This is why hundreds of world-class athletes, doctors, lawyers, teachers, business leaders, college students, and professionals from all walks of life have come to him for advice and direction--including 7-time Super Bowl Champion Tom Brady, 23-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps, Heisman Trophy winners Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson, CEOs of major companies, and championship coaching staffs from all over the world. 

Harden teaches his students how to practice, train, and rehearse to give 100 percent, 100 percent of the time, and challenges them by asking: If you don't believe in yourself, why should I believe in you? 

Champions aren't born. They're built. Greg Harden spent over 30 years building them at the University of Michigan, including 400 future professional athletes, 50 NFL first-round draft picks, and 120 Olympians from over 20 countries. He gained national recognition when 60 Minutes Sports profiled him as "Michigan's Secret Weapon."  

Now, in his first book, Greg Harden is reaching out to help anyone who wants to live their best life by offering powerful and practical advice. 

You will learn to:   

Stop being afraid of being afraid: Fear and self-doubt are the enemy. As soon as you learn that fear and self-doubt are predictable, they become manageable. 

Control the controllables: How you control your own emotions, reactions, and responses to circumstances is what you must master first. You are the only one who has control over your mind. Stop letting others determine the way you feel about yourself. 

Commit, improve, and maintain: Learn to build better habits.  Making small improvements every day is the secret to a completely transformed life. 

Become the world's greatest expert on yourself: It's the only way to become the very best version of yourself. 

Practice self-love and self-acceptance: These are the keys to eliminating and replacing self-defeating attitudes and behaviors. 

This is a one-of-a-kind book that will give you the indispensable lessons and tools necessary to create real change in your life.

Title: Best self help/coaching book ever!
Review: Greg Harden's first and sadly only book distills the essences of mastering sport and life. This should be on every coach, elite athlete and high performing individuals' shelf. He mixes in easily understood concepts with examples of real life, experiences with some of the world's greatest athletes.

Title: What a Great Book
Review: I had to buy this book after hearing so many great people talk about the effect he had on their lives. To have a copy of his beliefs and practices as a leave-behind is such a gift. I am going to pass this book on to my sons and others. Great book, great man. A Michigan man.

Title: Clear, Compassionate, Actionable
Review: I saw Greg coaching JJ McCarthy in the College Playoffs. “Who is that guy?” I wondered. Turns out he is University of Michigan athletics’ psychologist who has helped many household names. Brady, Howard, Phelps (even though he isn’t a Michigan grad!)He boils all his excellent coaching into a superb book that is firm and kind, gets at the root of what holds people back from becoming better, and provides actionable advice. Not answers, but guidance.You may have read other books on how to become a better version of yourself. This one stands up there with the very best.Thank you Greg Harden for your generosity in writing this book and sharing your wisdom.

Title: Good read and motivational
Review: This book hits all the chords of how to ‘clear the path’ in your life by controlling the things you can, creating a plan, setting goals for what success looks like to you, and focus on those supporting attitudes and behaviors vs those that can defeat and derail your progress toward them. A bit preachy from time to time and lots of testimonials, but definitely worth the read. Good job, Mr. Harden!

Title: And my growth continues
Review: I was attracted to Dr. Harden’s book almost by accident. I read a review and was intrigued. After purchasing the book, “Stay Sane in a Crazy World”, I opened it in the evening after dinner. Seven hours later I forced myself to put it down as I had other commitments early the next day. After a great day with some wonderful people growing a church in my now home of Thailand, I continued to read but made an effort to go back and highlight critical lessons for myself. Being an 80 year old man who has earned his stripes by working around the world, I was errantly content with my life’s position albeit as a “retired”evangelist, I knew that I must always listen for the whispers after taking so many bricks as he alluded to in my life until the journey is over. Greg is brilliant in presenting life enhancing concepts that can be practiced in any phase of this life as well as wonderful concepts to enhance the lives of those you come in contact with daily, be they old or young. I will be continuing my self improvement as I hope to help many others because of the encouragement I have received from his writing.Thank you Dr. Harden for a great addition to my life and for the energy I have received from your book that will allow me energetically to pass it on as opportunity permits.Ralph in the jungle.. God Bless..

Title: He Walks the Talk…excellent and inspired !!
Review: GHarden succinctly captures sage-like insights presented in down to earth terms. His lessons are highly relatable and provide an authentic look at the journey that every champion (those known and not well know) must take. He encourages us all to take an honest look in the mirror and challenge ourselves to give 100% one-hundred percent of the time. His sincerity and empathy comes from tens of thousands of sessions with elite athletes, successful business/nonprofit leaders; and teens from all backgrounds. This book is not filled with academic frameworks and conjecture. It is not cleverly packaged sound bites, and untested theory. Harden shared tried and true methods that he has used day after day, season after season for over 40 years. This book is a gift: a lifetime of practical wisdom shared in his voice, with care and with bold expectations for us all; here he shares stories for everyday champions and those fighting to reclaim their inner champion. Buy the book and get one for a friend. Excellent and inspired.

Title: I enjoyed reading this book
Review: I bought the book to aid me in journey towards analyzing and improving my mental health, glad I did. A reminder to focus on the things you can control (such as yourself) as you navigate through this challenging world. Also a great reminder to not take the actions/attitudes of others so personal. You'll get as much out of it as your commitment allows.
