NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Eric Thomas moves, inspires, encourages, and challenges people to reach their full potential. You Owe You is flat-out brilliant, and he ain’t lied yet!”—Deion Sanders, Coach Prime

No matter your story or your struggle, Eric Thomas—celebrated motivational guru, educator, and problem-solver to many of the top athletes and business leaders—will “help you work harder, discover your real motivation, and crack the code of enduring success” (Ed Mylett, #1 bestselling author of The Power of One More)

If you feel like success is for others, that only certain people get to have their dreams fulfilled, Eric Thomas’s You Owe You is your wake-up call. His urgent message to stop waiting for inspiration to strike and take control of your life is one he wishes someone had given him when he was a teenager—lost, homeless, failing in school, and dealing with the challenges of being a young Black man in America.

Once he was able to break free from thinking of himself as a victim and truly understand his strengths, he switched the script. And now, with this book, Thomas reveals how you, too, can rewrite your life's script. With support, he recognized that his unique gift is being able to capture the attention of all kinds of people in all kinds of settings—boardrooms, locker rooms, churches, classrooms, even the streets—thanks to his wealth of experiences and command of language. Today, Thomas considers himself blessed to speak to an audience that is as large as it is diverse, from the rich and famous to kids struggling in school to young men in prison hoping for a new start.

Thomas’s secrets of success have already helped hundreds of thousands on their journey, but this is his first guide to show you how to start today, right now. These critical first steps include deeply understanding yourself and the world around you, finding your why, accepting that you may have to give up something good for something great, and constantly stretching toward your potential. No matter where you are on your journey toward greatness, you owe it to yourself to become fully, authentically you. And Eric Thomas’s You Owe You can help get you there.

I'm so Grateful to not just only have this book but I'm also apart of this Man of God You Owe You Community. I already read a few pages in this amazing book that speaks to me already. I'm tremendously grateful and truly appreciate the sacrifice and time that this beautiful Man of God Mr. Eric Thomas took to write this book for us all. This book is truly helping me to never give up on my dreams and to keep on striving even when I do feel like I want to give up. The encouraging words in this book helps me to keep on going anyhow. This book is very valuable and it's worth investing in because you are investing in yourself. God bless you all that read this review. ☺️💕🙏

5.0 out of 5 stars The GOAT has spoken, and reading this book, you'll know why he is no.1 in the world.

Where do I start with this book? There is so much to say about it, it is overwhelming. But I will focus on what I took away from this book and why I would confidently recommend the next reader to get the book. This is my first ET book, because I get more impacted by Dr.Thomas when he talks, he has such a powerful presence, powerful voice but mostly powerful message that I personally always find interesting and educational. Dr. Thomas talks and you get up - not because of fear, but the man is genuine, and I like that he is also a preacher, so he always impacts me on a Christian level as well.

I wasn't going to buy the book if I can be honest, but when I saw that the book is a New York Times Bestseller, I bought it out of respect. Why? One might ask. The answer is goals and determination to always strive, and that's what I learnt from ET. The man isn't just a preach and talk. He leads by example, listening to him is so powerful I decided to read the book, and it was one of the best investments to my growth. This book focuses on ET's life - where he started, what he went through and how he got to be where he is now. The book focuses on areas of his life that one would never know listening to his content.

But here's the thing about the book, it isn't about ET's life and that's it, he takes us from rags to riches and anyone reading it will know there is hope, there is God out there who works, and anyone is capable of anything, regardless of the background, race, age or gender. This book washes away all excuses one might have in their head. It's not hard to see why he is the number one motivational speaker in the world. I agree that we owe it to ourselves to get to the next level, be the best God created us to be, but it doesn't magically or automatically happen. It is hard work, it's waking up early to start working on your dreams.

This book is not an autobiography as most say it is, ET tells readers about his beginnings, where he grew up and how he grew up and things that molded him to be the person he is today. It's easier to relate to someone who shows the world that they were knocked down and got up, it gives hope and faith that anything is possible. Reading this book was one of the best decisions I ever did!!!

if you need to get your head on straight this is the book for you. I love it because it helps to give inspiration from a side of view that isn't discussed much when it comes to purpose and that is one of the minority. Its written the way normal people talk and isn't scattered with unnecessary jargon to try and sound smart.

“..stop waiting for the stars to align…stop waiting for inspiration to strike…wake up and take hold of your own life.”

A little over halfway on Page 1, ET’s voice bellowed from the page and yanked my attention in. From there on, I was taken on a journey; given a bird’s eye view of an individual who faced immense trials (including homelessness), battled grave insecurities, and had some of the best reasons to give up on himself, but ABSOLUTELY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY REFUSED TO QUIT!!!
Holy Heaven, what did I just read? What did I just see within those pages?

- A blueprint of success
- A trumpet call to action
- A vision of what’s possible
- A biography of how transformation occurs when one aligns with his/her purpose.
- A historical lens of life in Detroit and Chicago in the 1970s

This book is all of that and SOOOOOO MUCH MORE which is why it is one of my best inspirational reads of 2022.

It isn’t often that you find one of those books that demands you excitedly sit on the edge of your own bed of desire for greatness with each word, page, chapter. From the onset, ET is raw, real, relatable,and relentless littering each page with substantial wisdom gems for moving forward. By the time I was through reading (three days after it was delivered), I was beyond ready to “…begin building your legacy…to take control…to do the work…to become your dream…to become great…to step into yourself…to go write the book of you.”

Hands down, A MUST READ!!!

'' You'll never be successful until I don't have to give you a dime to do what you do. '' Eric Thomas You owe you book Page : 233
My first quick read of the book is completed ! My score is 9.5 / 10 , I'm a Huge fan, Back in 2011- 2012 I came to the first guru story video because I heard his voice in many motivational video and wanted to know who he was and I went to I consider it was my 120 and succeed my goal to go to Vegas, working as a janitor for a two restaurant during 2 years and had great experience because he pushed me to know my limits. But after that I slow down and got lazy, I probably watched over 300 videos of him it's hard for me to say something negative about Eric and his new book. It's really easy to read as English is my second language for me. I learned new insight of his story and the interaction of the people around him including his wife Dede ! Now I need to do all the work on personal grow after each chapter ! I'm sure he will help me a lot yet to discover a part of Me I didn't know with those Works & Challenges ! Thank you very much Eric Thomas for being you take care

E.T. takes things to a whole new level. In this book, you will find gold, tears and a mirror. "You owe you " breaks you down and build up to be the best version of yourself by getting you face your fears, worries and being straight up with the person in the mirror. Dr. E.T PhD has an amazing story of rags to riches, and a formula to get anyone from a zero to a hero. Its possible, but you have to do the work. Thank you Dr. Eric Thomas. You a real one.
