Best-selling author Mike Robbins had a life that many little boys
dream of. Drafted by the New York Yankees directly out of high
school, Mike decided instead to postpone his professional baseball
career until he finished college. After a successful stint at
Stanford, he began life in the minor leagues as a pitcher with the
Kansas City Royals organization, where he played for three years
until an injury benched him for good. This devastating
disappointment changed his life in wonderful ways that he could
have never imagined. He now teaches and speaks around the world
about teamwork, emotional intelligence, and the value of
appreciation and authenticity. In Nothing Changes Until You Do,
Mike's third book, he looks at one of the most important and
challenging aspects of life-our relationship with ourselves. Even
the most successful person struggles with this delicate
relationship, which has created an epidemic of self-criticism,
self-doubt, and thinking that our value is directly connected to
the external world-our jobs, our finances, our appearance, our
accomplishments, and so on. Through 40 short essays, Mike shows
readers that none of this is true, and brings to light a new way to
look at life. With themes spanning from the importance of trusting
yourself to the benefits of vulnerability to the strength inherent
in embracing powerlessness and change, Mike will help readers get
out of their own way, so they can live a good life. He shows that
with a little self-compassion and a healthy dose of
self-acceptance, anyone can turn away from the negatives that
manifest because of a critical self-perception-things like
unkindness, addictions, sabotaged relationships, unnecessary drama,
and more. Making peace with ourselves is fundamental to happiness.
The suggestions, insights, and reminders of this book will allow
readers to have more compassion, more acceptance, and more love for
themselves-thus giving them access to more compassion, more
acceptance, and more love for the people (and everything else) in
their lives.
