Gwen Thibeaux, a God-fearing everyday woman, tells her enlightening story about learning to "embrace greatness." She knows how it is to sit on the sidelines of life, stuck in your comfort zone. And she knows that with faith and clarity you can stop watching the dreams of others come true and reposition your life to follow yours. In this book, Gwen opens her heart and explores the ups and downs of her ordinary life, revealing some of her most vulnerable experiences. With unflinching honesty, she discusses emerging from believing that "greatness" was the external, outside her, to knowing that God had created her personal "greatness" within. Through challenges, obstacles, and struggles, Gwen has kept her faith and stood steadfast and unmovable. Has this been a challenge? Yes. However, by walking, owning, and never forgetting her greatness, she is now living in the greatness she was destined to have. Embracing The Greatness Within ● Walk in IT - it's yours! ● Own IT - it's yours! ● Never Forget IT - it's yours!

When a career-ending injury left elite athlete and professional football player Lewis Howes out of work and living on his sister’s couch, he decided he needed to make a change for the better. He started by reaching out to people he admired, searching for mentors, and applying his past coaches’ advice from sports to life off the field. Lewis did more than bounce back: He built a multimillion-dollar online business and is now a sought-after business coach, speaker, and podcast host. In The School of Greatness, Howes shares the essential tips and habits he gathered in interviewing “the greats” on his wildly popular podcast of the same name. In discussion with people like Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson and Pencils of Promise CEO Adam Braun, Howes figured out that greatness is unearthed and cultivated from within.

A framework for personal development, The School of Greatness gives you the tools, knowledge, and actionable resources you need to reach your potential. Howes anchors each chapter with a specific lesson he culled from his greatness “professors” and his own experiences to teach you how to create a vision, develop hustle, and use dedication, mindfulness, joy, and love to reach goals. His lessons and practical exercises prove that anyone is capable of achieving success and that we can all strive for greatness in our everyday lives.
