Just F*cking Do It - 24 Principles To Help You Get Out Of Your Own Way (Paperback): Steven Bartlett Just F*cking Do It - 24 Principles To Help You Get Out Of Your Own Way (Paperback)

Steven Bartlett, creator of The Diary of a CEO, returns with his most unique and uncompromising book yet.

How do you do the thing when you don’t know how to do the thing?

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who talk about changing their lives, and those who actually do it. This book is written for the second group: for anyone ready to cross that line.

After close to a decade spent interviewing scientists and spies, monks and misfits, billionaires and athletes, founders and failures, Steven has learned one truth that sits above all others: the thing blocking you isn’t talent, luck, resources or readiness. It’s the wall you’ve built around yourself. And it’s not made of concrete - it’s made of paper.

Blending unforgettable stories from the world’s biggest doers with methods drawn from behavioural science, Just Fcking Do It gives you the tools to overcome fear, easy comfort, inertia, embarrassment or self-deception and to take action. Now. Before the window closes.

Because this isn’t just a book – it’s a wake-up call. Will you answer it?

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 NerdFitness.com, 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.

Martial arts legend and international movie star Jet Li distils 10 powerful insights from his iconic career, his personal life and philosophies, and his 30-year Buddhist practice.

Jet Li’s story defies legend. Born into extreme hardship, he fought his way to become the youngest national martial arts champion in Chinese history at 12 years old, dominating opponents twice his size. He then became one of the first internationally renowned movie stars from China with films including Once Upon a Time in China, Hero and Fearless. These films redefined martial arts for the modern world, making him a household name.

But behind the glory lay a deeper battle: a search for meaning beyond fame, fortune and physical skill. After a near-death encounter in the 2004 tsunami, Li turned inwards, deepening his study of Tibetan Buddhism and dedicating his life to philanthropy, though he was at the height of his Hollywood career.

For the very first time, Li shares the ten insights that have guided his life, in which anyone can find wisdom, guidance, and power, including:

  • Life is movement
  • The secret to self-defence
  • Separate the suffering from the pain
  • Be a grandson to the world
  • Learn from everyone.

Li invites readers to share his interior life, to hear untold stories from his martial arts and film career, and to meditate with him on the nature of spiritual awakening. If you look deeply, you can see Li’s life philosophy in many of his movies, and in Beyond Life and Death he fully links his own story and spiritual journey with 10 actionable insights that anyone can apply to live a healthy and happy life.

After years of struggle, and determined to no longer let the crippling disorder rule his life, he resolved to document the process as a form of therapy, but also in the hope that it might help others battling similar mental turmoil.

How do we do more with less? From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Range, why limits are the key to stimulating creativity, innovation, collaboration, and personal contentment.

We live in a world that gives us seemingly infinite choices and prizes freedom above all else. We have an unprecedented number of options regarding what to do, who to be, and how to spend our time. All that choice is wonderful; it is also overwhelming. The irony is that total freedom can be paralyzing, and unlimited resources don’t necessarily lead to the biggest breakthroughs. In fact, overvaluing complete freedom can be disastrous for everything from starting a company to harnessing creativity to finding personal satisfaction.

David Epstein argues that all of us—individuals, businesses, institutions, even societies—can benefit from narrowing our options. He dives into the science and practice of constraints, exploring exactly when and how guardrails can be beneficial, whether we’re working with limited resources or using self-imposed boundaries to tap unexpected wells of focus and innovation.

Original, galvanizing, and deeply researched, Inside the Box tells absorbing stories of people and organizations that embraced constraints to transform themselves, and the world—as well as a few that struggled from a lack of limits. Epstein reveals how boundaries create breakthroughs, and how setting the right constraints can help you become the most creative, productive, and satisfied version of yourself.

Why do some people create extraordinary impact while others with the same ability stall? This book lays out four fundamental principles grounded in science that have a multiplier effect on life and leadership and explain this paradox. It turns out it's not what talent you have – it's how you use it. The Four Principles are counterintuitive but are accessible and learnable, and their signifcant multiplier effect is explained and mathematically demonstrated.

Adrian Gore, founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality, built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across 37 countries. He didn’t just scale a business; he created a whole new Shared-Value business model, a system so revolutionary it’s taught as a case study at Harvard Business School, and recognised by Fortune magazine as ‘changing the world’.

In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this trajectory:

  • Disciplined Optimism: Why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.
  • Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think.
  • Declared Goals: Setting bold goals triggers radical motivation and decisive action.
  • The Pareto Tail: Target just a few high-power decisions to determine your life’s entire trajectory.

Growing up queer, brown and ambitious in a conservative South African Indian household comes with rules, expectations and a lot of things no one is allowed to say out loud.

In Qualified Disappointment, comedian and actor Prev Reddy turns that silence into comedy. From choreographing braai dances to surviving family WhatsApp groups, Prev learned early how to perform, deflect and entertain his way through a world obsessed with appearances and the fear of becoming a disappointment.

Prev delivers a moving memoir about tradition, taboo and the pressure to live a life that looks respectable from the outside, charting his journey from a glitter loving child in Durban to an internationally recognised social media star and stage performer.

Hovering over it all is his alter-ego, Aunty Shamilla. She is opinionated and watchful – the familiar voice of community judgement, reluctant affection and unsolicited advice. Deeply honest and unapologetically bold, Qualified Disappointment is for anyone who has felt like an outsider in their own home and fought to stay soft, funny and powerful anyway.

Because the best running isn’t really about running at all.

Drawing on her popular Emotional Profiles Triangle, she explains the strengths and vulnerabilities of the high-powered Tiger, the empathic Dolphin and the self-contained Owl. When anxiety peaks, they can be triggered into Fight, Flight or Freeze and leave their skilful self behind.

Packed with case-studies, interviews and practical tools, this highly accessible book will help you gain powerful insights into your own behaviour and that of others.

Why do some people create extraordinary impact while others with the same ability stall? This book lays out four fundamental principles grounded in science that have a multiplier effect on life and leadership and explain this paradox. It turns out it's not what talent you have – it's how you use it. The Four Principles are counterintuitive but are accessible and learnable, and their signifcant multiplier effect is explained and mathematically demonstrated.

Adrian Gore, founder and CEO of Discovery and Vitality, built a company from a single, bold idea into a global financial group serving over 50 million customers across 37 countries. He didn’t just scale a business; he created a whole new Shared-Value business model, a system so revolutionary it’s taught as a case study at Harvard Business School, and recognised by Fortune magazine as ‘changing the world’.

In The Four Principles, Gore reveals the framework and guiding principles that powered this trajectory:

  • Disciplined Optimism: Why choosing optimism is the most rational path to seizing overlooked opportunities.
  • Focused Urgency: Why your perceived time to make an impact is shorter than you think.
  • Declared Goals: Setting bold goals triggers radical motivation and decisive action.
  • The Pareto Tail: Target just a few high-power decisions to determine your life’s entire trajectory.

From transformational coach and author Jim Curtis comes The Book of Possibility—a program designed to feel as close as possible to a one-on-one coaching session with Jim himself. This is not a book you simply read; it’s a guided journey you experience.

Born from Jim’s own health challenges and decades of helping thousands create lasting change, The Book of Possibility reveals how subconscious patterns quietly shape your health, relationships, confidence, and sense of fulfillment. With warmth and clarity, Jim invites you to see a powerful truth: lasting change and manifestation don't come from fixing your life on the outside—they come from transforming the identity operating beneath the surface.

Blending neuroscience, hypnotherapy, and spirituality in an accessible, grounded way, Jim reveals the power of the subconscious mind and how it can be directed to support healing, clarity, and growth. Through his signature three-step process—Release, Align, Become—you’ll learn to let go of fear-based conditioning, connect with what’s truly possible, and embody a new way of being from the inside out.

What makes this book unique is its experiential design. Each chapter weaves together reading, guided listening, and reflective writing to engage the senses—accelerating awareness and meaningful change. Hypno-meditations, compassionate prompts, and coaching-style questions create moments of insight and emotional release that many that work with Jim describe as life-changing.

The Book of Possibility is a compassionate guide, a practical toolkit, and a reminder that what you’re seeking isn’t missing—it’s already within you, waiting to be remembered.
