Story of You: And How to Create a New One

The Story of You is the book Steve Chandler was always meant to write. In the tradition of Covey's 7 Habits and Scott Peck's Road Less Traveled, Chandler's personal growth gem transcends all categories to impact psychology, business, self-help, and contemporary social commentary. For the first time in history, readers have a definitive book on what keeps them from succeeding.

Chandler breaks new ground with his startling revelations and fresh interpretations about people as diverse as: Elvis Presley, Van Gogh, Governor Bill Richardson, actor Tyrese Gibson, Dr. Andrew Weil, Hugh Hefner, Mark Twain and the biblical character Lazarus.

By exposing people's stories as the most false and limiting part of their lives, Chandler invites you into a new world of action and creative accomplishment.

With humor and biting critiques, Chandler exposes people's false ego stories for what they are and reveals the source of all success: the inner energy of will and spirit. Filled with stunningly candid dialogue from pivotal coaching sessions that Chandler has conducted (and been the subject of!), this book is the most dramatic exposure yet of how we hold ourselves back by the stories we believe and then tell.

Steve Chandler is the best-selling author of numerous books including 100 Ways to Motivate Yourself (Chicago Trimbune's Audio Book of the Year), 100 Ways to Motivate Others, Reinventing Yourself, and 9 Lies That Are Holding Your Business Back. Chandler is a national speaker with more than 2 dozen Fortune 500 clients and more than a thousand packed-house keynote speaking engagements to his credit. The Story of You is based on Chandler's most successful work as a life coach and consultant, work that recently landed him an appearance as a life coach on NBC's Emmy-award winning reality show, Starting Over.
