Dave Hollis (2) (–2023)

Dave Hollis is the husband of Rachel Hollis, author and entrepreneur. He is also a businessman in his own right, having worked for Disney and several other major companies throughout the years.

In his first book, "Get Out of Your Own Way," Hollis takes similar principles that his wife Rachel shared in her wildly popular book "Girl, Wash Your Face" and applying them to the male perspective. Hollis breaks down misconceptions that have led him to avoid pursuing his goals, neglecting his health and other common missteps. Every chapter has a theme, much like "Girl, Wash Your Face."

I actually gleaned some good insights from this book and plan on sharing it with my husband and some friends who could use its message. Bear in mind that this book is considered self-improvement, so if you're not ready for implementing change, it's probably not for you. However, if you need a book that will spur you on to change and encourage you at the same time, "Get Out Of Your Own Way" could be a helpful read. Hollis is engaging and blunt at times, but seems to really want the best for those around him, which is an admirable trait.

While I am not necessarily the target market for this book, it was a great read and worth the time to dive into. I did highlight a lot of the book and have shared some quotes that were particularly meaningful to me. This is a secular book, so expect a few curse words, but if you can overlook that, the book is well worth the read. Hollis is down to earth and affable with encouragement to spare.

I was an early reader, thanks to Thomas Nelson Inc. Publishers and #NetGalley. I loved it so much I purchased a copy for my husband as a gift. Don't miss it!… (más)
