Story
When it comes to the “hard seasons” of life—the death of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job—transformation seems impossible when grief and uncertainty dominate your days. Especially when, as Didn’t See that Coming reveals, no one asks to have their future completely rearranged for them. But, as Rachel Hollis writes, it is up to you how you come through your pain—you can come through changed for the better, having learned and grown, or stuck in place where your identity becomes rooted in what hurt you.

"Wake up to the miracle you are," he directs. "Here's what you've forgotten: You're a f--king miracle of being." It isn't other people that are standing in your way; it isn't even your circumstances that are blocking your ability to thrive. It's yourself and the negative self-talk you keep telling yourself.

Every day we experience the uncertainty, risks, and emotional exposure that define what it means to be vulnerable or to dare greatly. Based on 12 years of pioneering research, Dr. Brené Brown dispels the cultural myth that vulnerability is weakness and argues that it is, in truth, our most accurate measure of courage. Brown explains how vulnerability is both the core of difficult emotions like fear, grief, and disappointment, and the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, empathy, innovation, and creativity.

Are your thoughts holding you captive? I’ll never be good enough. Other people have better lives than I do. God couldn’t really love me. Jennie Allen knows what it’s like to swirl in a spiral of destructive thoughts, but she also knows we don’t have to stay stuck in toxic thinking patterns. As she discovered in her own life, God built a way for us to escape that downward spiral. Freedom comes when we refuse to be victims to our thoughts and realize we have already been equipped with power from God to fight and win the war for our minds.

The one you hide behind when you say everything is "just fine" when it's not. Your unrealistic expectations. The goal-setting tactics you're deploying to get ahead could be what's holding you back.

Publisher's Summary
“When Girl, Wash Your Face came out, so many people said the same thing: ‘I wish my husband/son/boyfriend had a book like this!’ And now it’s here. Dave’s first book is vulnerable, authentic, and earnest, written from the perspective of a friend on the journey with you.” (Rachel Hollis)
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, in Get Out of Your Own Way, Dave:
- Points the way for those of us who are, like he was, skeptical of self-help but wanting something more than the status quo
- Helps us drop bogus ideas about who we are supposed to be and finally start living as who we really are
- Helps us 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”
- Reveals the tools that helped him change his life…and may change your life too

Absolute rubbish. Don't waste your time. 0 stars
This audiobook took me forever to finish. I almost didnt finish it.
Listening to this book AFTER Mr. and Mrs. Perfect announced their marriage had "run its course" and had been rocky for years was definitely an interesting experience. Every thing he said in this book was a lie. I have never rolled my eyes so much. Every chapter was even named after a lie.
I laughed so hard at the part in chapter 12 (I think) where he said something along the lines of "would you take marraige advice from someone in a failing marriage? Of course not, because that's not a credible source" HA! You're telling me buddy. Dave Hollis and his wife Rachel hosted a bullshit marraige bootcamp conference where they greedily charged 200 couples $1700 each to attend. Neither of them have the professional education or experience to council anyone but what does that matter? They happily take all this money from people and then a few months later announce on facebook that they have been struggling in their relationship for years and are divorcing. Incredible. Then they have the nerve to ask the public for grace and privacy during this difficult time.
Aside from the lies and hypocrisy littering every page of this book, Dave Hollis also believes himself to be funny which he isnt and probably also thinks of himself as a good narrator. He's not. He over enounciates every third word. It's like listening to Chandler Bing and ONLY Chandler Bing for hours on end.
The whole book is braggy and nauseating. I hated it. And no, Dave, every bad review of your 'product' is not just because "it just wasnt right for them", you get bad reviews when your products suck.

Get out of your own way and start listening!
***TLDR: Get 👏 this 👏 book 👏, just do it. Trust me. (See below for long babbling review about how much I loved this book + other book recommendations) ***
I had pretty high hopes for this audiobook, but they were surpassed. I’m pleasantly surprised by how powerful this book is yet In subtle and not so subtle ways. It’s raw and real and I couldn’t stop listening. The performance by Dave Hollis was enjoyable as well, authors don't always do well reading their books but this one was great to listen to.
Dave talks about his struggles, hardships, successes and what he’s learned. I enjoyed the no-nonsense, get-it-together approach that really whips you Into shape, yet has a kind and understanding undertone. His stories are so relatable, even though he's gone through vastly different things in his life than I have. It’s especially great coming from someone who seems so successful, hearing about his low times when from the outside it looked like he had it all, and how hard he worked to get where he's at today. I appreciate his honesty about things he has to overcome every day to keep growing, learning, and becoming a better version of himself.
Change your life, you can do it! Hearing about how others continue to grow and how it’s not easy is something we need to hear. After listening to this book it has inspired me to challenge myself in ways I didn't think I'd even want to change, for the better.
This book is for everyone, not people of a specific gender, race, sexual orientation, or belief, but EVERYONE.
Gratefully,
Former Skeptic

A Self Help Book from Someone who was a Non-Believer
If you’ve read all the books and are still searching when it comes to personal development this is the book YOU need to read. Get Out Of Your Own Way by Dave Hollis is the first time I felt like I wasn’t reading a personal growth book written by a cheerleader who had always been reaching for more but instead someone who has broken away from his fixed mindset to endless possibilities. This book evaluates a series of obstacles that ultimately he was at the root at and in turn teaches the reader the power of not using these excuses as reasons to be stuck. So many things ARE in our control yet we often don’t see it that way, Dave Hollis leads his reader to understand this. If someone could only read part of this book I would highly recommend Chapter 8 and the Conclusion. In Chapter 8 “Failure Means You’re Weak” we see Dave’s journey with a growth mindset. My favorite quote “the way you think may be leading you, rather than you leading the way you think” reminds us how powerful our thoughts truly are. In the conclusion of the book Dave sets out five areas in ones life that he believes will help you preserve a better life. Ultimately read this book and use one man’s story of growth to help yourself GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!

Marvelous Reminders
I had the privilege of reading with an Advanced Reader Copy from HarperCollins Leadership Launch Team was “Get Out of Your Own Way” by Dave Hollis AND received my audible version this morning! I stumbled or tripped into the world of personal growth in the fall of 2018 by reading a facebook post from a friend that recommended “Girl, Wash Your Face” by Rachel Hollis. Since then, I have been on a daily journey to leap off the hamster wheel, practice daily health and wellness to feel better about myself and establish a path of growth in everything that I do. Fast forward to the present and Rachel’s husband is about to release a book (March 10, 2020) that shares his own limiting beliefs and story on his journey of personal growth. I have followed HollisCo for over a year and attended their women’s conference, Rise in Minneapolis which was a memorable weekend. While I have heard bits and pieces of Dave’s story, it was fantastic to be able to read the stories and gain greater understanding of his “why” on his journey. The book offers suggestions on how to tackle your own issues and applies to men and women. Rachel resonated with me, but so does Dave in a different way. “Get Out of Your Own Way” will challenge you to think about your own journey, but it is up to you to do the work. Let’s GO! #getoutofyourownway #gooyow #harpercollinsambassador

Best Book I’ve ever read
This book has given me so many thoughts and ideas and ambitions and has created a dream for me to be able to accomplish bigger and better in my life. As someone who was not always believed in the self development industry, I have become a practitioner and a believer because of this book. Thank you, Dave. You’re an inspiration to me.

If you are not the traditional self motivated
If you are not the traditional self motivated reach for self improvement books then this is your book.
This book was written for those that do not have a traditional mindset when it comes to the topic of growth mindset but a skeptical mindset. Believing lies that do not serve them and hinder them from reaching their full potential.
And it is full of the reasons why those mindsets and beliefs do not serve us even if we feel like they do.
It is a must read for anyone who believes or has wanted in any small or large format that they can change their skeptical mindset and reach for more.
Let’s gooo Dave Hollis congratulations on a fantastic book and thank you for sharing it with the world!!
I received an advanced readers copy from the publisher but these words and thoughts are all my own.
Thank you Harper Collins. #harpercollinsambassador

Let's GOOOO ... Read This Book!
Dave Hollis is authentic and venerable with opportunities for "I can relate" laughs sprinkled throughout. The introduction—Is Self-Help for Broken People?—quickly breaks down the stigmatism around personal development and the benefits of therapy. Dave shares stories that most men would feel too much shame in sharing with others and he delivers them in a way that it doesn't matter if you're male or female, they are relatable. As a woman, this book has helped me to better understand how my husband and other men in my life may feel about similar situations. This book is on fire and truly inspirational.
Note: I received an advance reader's copy from HarperCollins Leadership. Everything shared in this review are my own thoughts. However, I purchased an audiobook copy as well to hear Dave read his own words (he does a great job narrating).

Book is bad and offers nothing insightful
Even in a bad self help book, you can usually find a few nuggets of wisdom. Not possible here. Unrelatable, zero self-awareness and uninteresting. My hypothesis is Dave Hollis saw the success of his wife's books and took a crack at it. Even in the book he reveals that she was driving force behind his motivation and big decisions. Message of the book: get yourself a spouse that can fix all your problems??
Sorry for being mean, but this is a grift by someone who doesn't even need the money.

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.

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!

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

I just think they are awesome!
I have discovered audio books so that I can listen to them on my commutes whilst driving to work. Absolutely loved Rachel's books which made me purchase Dave's 😁 and I have not been disappointed - fantastic Dave, adore listening to your book too. Thank you

Not a good read to me
was hard work by halfway through. the author has good intentions but I personally think that the context is a bit forced. It seems like a pretty average story/ experience doesn't mean you need to write a book about it just because your wife did. Some should stick to their day job. I wish I'd donated the money to charity instead of listening to half of it.

Loved This Book - Highly Recommend
Couldn't put it down... now that is a good book! So many helpful pieces of advice with snippets of insight as to why I behave like I do and why I need to just sort my shit out. I kept thinking of so many others who would benefit by reading this book too. Love how he gave so many examples and stories to help me get the most out of learning about ways and behaviors . I am going to buy the hard copy now to highlight pieces that I found worthy of looking into in a deeper level 🙏

Powerful in its simplicity of message and acknowledging what stands in your way
Kudos to you, Dave Hollis; such a powerful recount of what a path to get to the starting line of a fulfilling life of growth looks like, and acknowledging those seemingly little (but actually gigantic) things that stand so cleary in your way when you have the courage to do the work, ‘see’ them, and ‘move’, even when you don’t feel like it. It is an absolute honour to have seen you rise in the last two years, and read the tale in your compelling and powerfully simple book. A must read for anyone wanting to create a fulfilling life, and reach for more. Kudos.
