I found this book to be pretty banal in many ways. The whole book can be summarized into: never give, give your max at whatever you do and you will see the results, etc., etc., etc.
This book could be a very good blog post somewhere on the internet, but since it's a book, I found it very stretched as the same topics/concepts are repeated over and over again.

Once upon a time, when America was a much more open and optimistic place, self-help authors dominated the non-fiction book marketplace with upbeat best-sellers. It started with Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill, and expanded to people like Zig Ziglar, Wayne Dyer, Steven Covey, Jack Canfield, Tony Robbins, Dr. Phil McGraw, Brene Brown, and many more. The message of these popular books was pretty much the same formula:
1- You alone are in charge of your thoughts and actions, and
2- Once you accept #1 and work on whatever it is you want, you can accomplish almost anything.
I confess that I've read and listened to a lot of those books and they've helped me along the way, especially when times were dark. Taking responsibility for your life and happiness is a greatly empowering thought. Without it, we play the blame game and look for scapegoats to prove why we can't have anything good in life. But I've also found that there are limits to this self-help theology that individualistic, entrepreneurial Americans have taken to heart over the decades. Sometimes no matter how hard we try, not all of us can become millionaires as social media influencers, rock stars, hedge fund managers, pro athletes, or businesspeople.
In todays' economy, there are limits to what those at the bottom of the ladder can accomplish anymore, as the deck is decidedly stacked against them. Sure, a few lucky ones can rise, but many will never even attain what their parents had. This is cruel optimism at its core- if you fail, it's on you because look at how successful I am. If only you had just believed harder and done one more thing. Plus, none of us is an island. Our actions have consequences that sometimes adversely affects others. And we can profess all we want to have our act together, but we still need others to have a meaningful life. And to need others means to cede a bit of that hard-won personal power and to become vulnerable.
I thought about this while reading the latest from the latest self-help guru, Ed Mylett, in his new book, The Power of 1 More. Ed Mylett is a writer, podcast host, entrepreneur, and according to his LinkedIn page "one of the top business leaders, peak performance experts, and global keynote speakers in the world today. While many leaders and speakers just “talk the talk,” Ed is a team-made millionaire who has built one of the most prolific financial service businesses the world has ever seen."
The Power of 1 More is a call to work harder and put in that extra bit of effort that could make the difference between mediocrity and success. Mylett writes that we all have an "identity thermostat" that automatically adjusts itself when we get too happy or unhappy, based on what we think we deserve. Adjusting that stubborn self-concept is something that takes a lot of effort and/or counseling to overcome. Most people make consequential decisions about themselves early in life based on events in their formative years, and to overrule those decisions and feel worthy again is one of the hardest things that humans ever attempt. Books like this are a helpful push for some that encourages them to try new things, read better books, and think more constructive thoughts.
Positive thoughts can bring positive results, which compounds and expands as we feel better about ourselves and more in charge of what happens in our world. This can lead to a virtuous spiral that leads to greater confidence and better results out in the world. Unfortunately, negative thoughts act the same way, and can lead to a death spiral where failures beget more failures and more negative thoughts. Somehow, that positive frame of mind has to be protected and cultivated even in the face of failures and negative outcomes, which are unavoidable for most of us and especially destructive on the most vulnerable of us.
One of Mylett's more interesting suggestions is do divide your day into three sections and treat each of those as a separate entity, with goals and results all their own. For him those three sections are the morning, afternoon, and evening, each of which is like a separate day with separate events. This forces you to plan more and evaluate more, giving you shorter periods to evaluate. Shorter "days" force you to make better use of your time and become more accountable. Plus more planning and quicker results help keep you on track and on target.
Most of the ideas in this book are familiar in the self-help arena. Seek out better friends and colleagues, set simple and flexible goals, ask better questions to get better answers, don't sell yourself short with low standards, develop good habits to improve your autopilot settings, and don't be afraid to tackle the hard things first. Probably my favorite chapter was when Mylett talked about his father's battle with alcoholism and how he was inspired by his dad's courage in that battle.
There's a fair amount of religion in this book too, though Mylett tries not to overdo it, but if you're not a fan of prayers, that chapter might turn you off. If you're looking for a leader in the 2020's self-help movement, Mylett's your guy. He has taken to social media and collected followers with his muscular good looks and his can-do ethic. Mylett calls himself a "team-made millionaire" and he preaches the power of developing your own team and leading them to where you all want to go.
I spent a lot of time with authors and books like this, and for the most part they were helpful. But I recommend younger folks today take these teachings with a grain of salt. Yes, of course we all need to feel empowered and worthy, but the realities of 2020 are limited by unfair economics and climate change that limit what one person without a lot of resources can accomplish. Not everyone can be a millionaire, nor should they all want to be one. There are more important things in life than pushing yourself to do that one more thing and check off one more box on the endless goal sheet. Life is all about balance, and to take this stuff to heart too stringently risks pulling your life out of balance.
Everybody needs some good self-help books in their library, if only to correct the negative and defeatist thinking so prevalent in today's world. This book is fine for that purpose, though I recommend the classics by Wayne Dyer, Steven Covey, or Brene Brown before getting this one.

I’m a huge Ed Mylett fan and couldn’t wait to listen to this book. I finished this over two days and it was highly addictive (probably due to his voice)!
Ed is one of those in the self development space who is raw and authentic, motivational yet isn’t in your face.
I loved this book however I did feel like it repeated itself at times and a lot of what I hear on his podcasts etc can be found there.
I’m still a die hard fan and encourage that you listen to this book as it had some wonderful lessons especially chapter four.
But if you are very familiar with Ed’s work then you may not gain a ton from this book!
(3.5 stars)

Good book but not ground breaking.
Just a decent book for good reminders on pushing yourself, self confidence, achieving and making goals, habits etc
Just one more step, one more call, one more lap, one more hug etc

As Stevo’s Novel Ideas, I am a long-time book reviewer, member of the media, an Influencer, and a content provider. I received this book as a free review copy from either the publisher, a publicist, or the author, and have not been compensated for reviewing or recommending it.
This book was Stevo's Business Book of the Week for the week of 6/19, as selected by Stevo's Book Reviews on the Internet and Stevo's Novel Ideas. You're one more intentional thought and action away from discovering your best life.
Early in my career, I was taught the John W. Bergman addage: "There’s never enough time to do it right, but there’s always enough time to do it over.” Managers know that fixing errors is very costly. It takes time and money to do it over and, in the end, costs a lot more than doing it right the first time. How do you make sure it's right? Mylett says that if we utilize one more bit of focus, one more bit of motivation, we will produce better outcomes in business and in life.
Performing the exercises in the book, notably those that combat self-limiting thoughts and actions, helped me discover inner resources I didn't know I had. Many years ago I began using the principles of Positive Psychology, but Mylett, of course, takes them one step further. Don't miss his section on eliminating self-doubt.

The power of one more
A single message, repetitive but very useful.
The author starts from the idea of "Once again" (the only idea in the book) to unravel a series of subjects in which applying this idea can bring more benefits than you can think. Despite being reduced to just this single idea/premise, the book is denser than I imagined. If the reader pays attention, he will see that there is more than a "try again" catchphrase.
The book is about living freely, about how to instigate yourself, how to motivate yourself, how to get rid of weights, ties, past facts, how to free yourself from your own judgment and that of others. How to forgive, how to work better, manage your time, always using the "one more" idea.
The author ends the book with a beautiful tribute to his father, from whom he learned so much about the meaning of the power of one more. In his last chapter, the author unfolds about relationships, about how this is what really matters in your life. And nothing else.
Quoting a character from Flea Bag, "People are all we have in this life". And, in part, she is right. Everything else is important, obviously, but our relationships, our experiences and feelings related to the people we live with is what really matters in this life. And the sooner we wake up and understand this, the sooner we will live better and fully and completely.
O poder de mais uma vez
Uma única mensagem, repetitiva, porém muito útil.
O autor parte da idéia de "Mais uma vez" (idéia única do livro) para destrinchar uma série de assuntos no qual aplicar essa idéia pode trazer mais benefícios do que se imagina. Apesar de se resumir a apenas essa única idéia/premissa, o livro é mais denso do que imaginei. Caso o leitor preste atenção, verá que há mais do que uma frase de efeito do "tente outra vez".
O livro é sobre viver, de forma livre, sobre como se instigar, como se motivar, como se livrar de pesos, amarras, fatos do passado, como se libertar do julgamento próprio e dos outros. Como perdoar, como trabalhar melhor, administrar seu tempo, sempre utilizando a idéia de "one more".
O autor finaliza o livro com uma bela homenagem ao pai, de quem aprendeu tanto o significado do poder de mais uma vez. Em seu ultimo capítulo, o autor se desdobra sobre relacionamentos, sobre como isso é o que de fato importa na sua vida. E nada mais.
Citando uma personagem de Flea Bag, "Pessoas são tudo o que temos nessa vida". E, em parte, ela tem razão. Tudo é importante, óbvio, mas as nossas relações, nossas vivências, experiencias e sentimentos relacionados às pessoas com quem vivemos e convivemos é o que de fato importa, nesta vida. E quanto mais cedo acordarmos e entendermos isso, viveremos melhor e de forma plena e completa.

If I rated the first 90% of this book, I would give it a 2-stars. I found it repetitive and there was not enough practicality that impacted my day to day life. The last couple chapters were incredibly special and inspirational — those chapters were 5-star chapters! *I also listened to this book via Audible and I find I don’t engage as deeply with audiobooks*

very powerful theme about reaching your potential goals

4.5 ⭐️ The end of this book made me cry while I was half a mile into a treadmill workout and I had to stop running. I learned a lot in this book, took notes. I listened to this on audible but I think I’m going to buy the physical book.

All of us want to improve the quality of our lives. This is a motivating self-help book aimed at those figuring out who they are and how they operate. Those starting a new career will benefit from the tips author Ed Mylett offers in The Power of One More.
My favorite part of this book was Chapter 8 about asking quality questions. "The quality of your life is related to the quality of questions you ask yourself." Here are a few of my favorite questions in Mylett's 41-question list: What is one more thing I can change so I make fewer excuses? What one part of this situation can I control right now? What is one more thing I can do to procrastinate less and protect the valuable asset of my time? What is one more way I can accept my failures and learn from my mistakes? What's one more food item I can cut from my diet to lose weight? What's one more exercise I can do to burn fat? What is the one prayer or scripture I need to hold closer in my faith life today?
Mylett emphasizes the importance of defining one's identity for reaching goals. For example, one may identify as a healthy person to get healthier. Ask yourself what a healthy person would choose? “Your identity is a powerful and influential driver that governs outcomes in all parts of your life. It defines the limits of your success, finances, and achievements. It controls the quality of your emotions, relationships, and self-worth.”
True identity change is behavior change. “The truth is that you can acquire all the talents, skills, and abilities you want, but until they align with your identity, you’ll fall short of the goals you’ve set. This applies to your fitness identity, your financial identity, and every other part of your life.”
Mylett compares rituals and habits to motivation and inspiration. “Motivation and inspiration come and go. Rituals and habits are constant.”
He also differentiates between standards and goals. Goals are the byproducts and the results of my standards. Standards must be more intentional than goals you create. “I can’t always control the outcome of the goals, but I can control my standards.” Goals start as thoughts, but standards are actions that propel us to meet our goals.
Finally Mylett encourages readers to visualize and repeat goals out loud and often. Specifically, he includes them in his prayers at the same time every day.
Although I preferred James Clear's Atomic Habits, this book contains important reminders, and offers a different way to think about reaching goals. If I was younger, I would have given this book a higher rating. Wisdom, knowledge and experience come with age. Although I am still learning every day, at age 58 I know who I am, and I have developed my identity with trial and error. Still, there are valuable reminders everybody can use here.

The inspiring and practical distillation of 30 years of Ed’s accumulated wisdom.
Ed Mylett is, as per the inside flap of the book, “a highly successful entrepreneur, performance coach, bestselling author, and one of the world’s most inspirational public speakers.”
This book is the inspiring and practical distillation of 30 years of his accumulated wisdom. The thesis of the book—that you might just be “ONE More” thought / idea / action / habit / relationship away from FUNDAMENTALLY changing your life reminds me of Jim Rohn’s idea about combination locks. (More on that here: https://www.heroic.us/plus-one/combination-locks)
The book features 19 chapters on everything from “One More Identity” (chapter #1!) and “One More Dream” (#7) to “One More Goal” (#9) and “One More Habit” (#12).
It’s packed with Big Ideas. Some of my favorites are:
1. One More Identity — How’s Yours?
2. Time Management — The Five Principles Of.
3. Goals and Standards — Go Together.
4. Equanimity — The Essence of It.
5. One Last One More — Memento Mori, Hero!
Lastly… I’ve added The Power of One More by Ed Mylett to my collection of Philosopher’s Notes--distilling the Big Ideas into 6-page PDF and 20-minute MP3s on 600+ of the BEST self-development books ever. You can get access to all of those plus a TON more over at https://heroic.us.
“The Power of One More is the culmination of a philosophy I’ve been developing for more than 30 years.
At its core, The Power of One More is about your willingness to do one more rep, make one more phone call, get up one hour earlier, build one more relationship, or do one more thing for whatever your situation calls for.
You can find your best life by doing ‘one more’ than the world expects from you. ...
Most people are under the impression there are a thousand different things they can do to change their lives. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I’ve learned, and you will too, that one more thing is often all it takes. And frequently, it’s only one more step away from where you are now.
Begin with ONE MORE.
You’re a lot closer to changing your life than you think. You’re one more meeting, one more relationship, one more decision, one more action, or one more thought from leading the life you deserve. The Power of One More challenges you to become hyper-focused and addicted to searching for the ‘one mores’ in your life. The more you begin to see them and then execute the actions to realize them, the more your life will change.”

Trochę za dużo zadęcia, mocne opieranie się na wierze (subiektywnie wada), ale podoba mi się wiele przemyśleń, a pewne rzeczy były nawet odkrywcze. Ogólnie nie żałuję.

The last chapter (his personal motivation and how his father inspired him) was lovely, in glad i managed to make it through the rest to get there. Couldn't really get into it after hearing his "famous" quote "winning is more fun than fun is fun". If that quote sounds profound to you, then maybe you'll take more from this book than i did. Most of the rest of the information i inferred from the title..

Book 26/40 is by one of my favorite podcasters @edmylett. It’s a book I’ll make my husband read, and it’s one that I’ll probably read at least “One More Time”. The conviction with which he delivers all of his theories and thoughts is so intentional— it was just like listening to a 6 hour podcast, which is more than fine with me 😍 I give this one a 5/5 because there’s just that much good in this book. I had to make sure i had a pen and paper with me everytime i opened @audible to listen to this book.
Ugh, so good.

I had the privilege of hearing Ed Mylett speak at the eXp Shareholder Summit 2023. I realized that I needed to read his book, and I am so glad that I did.

Powerful and motivational guide to unleash your full potential
This book is an amazing motivational book that left a profound impact on me. From start to finish, Ed's words resonated deeply, inspiring me to strive for greatness every day in all aspects of my life.
What sets this book apart is his emphasis on the power of incremental improvements in every area of life. By consistently going beyond what is expected and doing "one more" I realized the incredible potential for growth and achievement that lies within each of us.

What sets this book apart is his emphasis on the power of incremental improvements in every area of life. By consistently going beyond what is expected and doing "one more" I realized the incredible potential for growth and achievement that lies within each of us.

I’m a huge Ed Mylett fan. His energy, passion for helping others, and his mix of science, business and faith. This book may be somewhat simplistic, it is not usually applied. And I loved his directness in this and mix of kindness he brought it that we truly can choose at any point to make a “one more” approach to life. In our goals, relationships, and actions. But we have to change our identity or we come back to the same place - our thermostat.

Whether it’s on his pod, someone else’s pod, or in a book, Ed Mylett always comes with that heat. I’ve never listened to someone more passionate about “self-improvement” and helping others achieve their potential. Sometimes it’s so passionate that it comes off as disingenuous or corny, but the more I listen the more I think he means every word. He’s also somebody who has launched successful businesses, overcome childhood trauma, gotten into great shape, grown in his faith, built a family, etc. So whatever you’re trying to do, he’s done it as well and has practical and applicable tips to help. The guy speaks with so much love and kindness in his deep voice that I was elated to find this on audiobook, but really want to do hardcover because it’s one of those books where you’d underline every other sentence. I’ve rambled here, but I hope everyone has a great week.

When I read self-help books I like to relate to the author in some way, this book I did not relate with Ed Mylett at all. This book is full of generic thoughts that are very repetitive and the “power of one more” I don’t think translated in every chapter. I feel like he was trying to make it work for everything and it just doesn’t. If you start with this as a first self help book, you may like it, but if you read them often just skip this one. He used lots of quotes and generic stories related to sports or religion to try and explain/connect to the topic he was talking about.

Overall, I liked this book and enjoyed reading it mostly before falling asleep. It didn’t really introduce me to anything new, but I did like some of the affirmations/questions and appreciated being able to use them to reflect on my own life experiences. I hope to learn more about the concept of equanimity and applying it, especially during high stress/tension moments and phases of life. The final chapter provides a strong call to action to inspire readers not to take time or important relationships for granted.

A very pump-you-up read. A couple of nuggets made the book much more valuable than it otherwise would be—as is often the case in self-help books.
-You set your success thermostat. If you set your intern thermostat to making 75k a year, then you will rise to that and even fall to that if you had a chance to make more than that. If it's 500k a year you will rise or fall to that. Similar thermostats exist for our relationship quality and our happiness. We have the ability to change our thermostat though!
Raise your identity setpoint one degree each day and no longer tolerate mediocrity in all areas of your life by focusing on what Mylett calls the “trilogy of identity change:” faith, intention, and association. Renew your faith in your capacity to do great things, repeat an intention of the great things you want to do, and associate with people who are doing great things each day, and you will increase your identity thermostat setpoint one more degree.
- I also like that he said repeating a... mantra or a go-to phrase to easily center you to focus on your goals as a company or a family, or a team etc. is a burden that leaders are rewarded for bearing.
