Publisher Description
A New York Times bestseller! In a world that feels increasingly disconnected, it’s time to reclaim a life of rich, authentic connection—because we are all made better when we trust one another and work together.
In his most vulnerable book to date, Chip Gaines opens up about his lifelong pursuit of building relationships with people from all walks of life. Chip emphasizes the importance of seeing people for who they are and not for what they can do for you, enabling you to build a strong community and a life of meaning, joy, and connection.
How does it happen? By being intentional about choosing the company you keep. Chip explains the value of seeking out people who are electrified by living according to their purpose, who will stand beside you as you tackle new challenges, and who bet on each other instead of the status quo. The key is being true to yourself, figuring out what you want to do with your life, and finding people who will lift you up along the way.
No Pain, No Gaines will open your eyes to valuable lessons, including how to:
Find the risks worth takingValue what you bring to the tableResist the status quoLook outside yourself and your circle and foster connections with othersGet comfortable with being uncomfortably kindLive life fully awake, not asleep at the wheel
A good life doesn't always come easy, but that's because the good stuff never does. It requires faith in people. It requires faith in yourself. It requires hope. And it requires a willingness to grow even when it hurts. In No Pain, No Gaines, through hard-won lessons and personal stories all told with his trademark blend of wit and wisdom, Chip Gaines will coach you on how to make your life rich and your relationships run deep.
Accompanying interactive components are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
If you’ve watched his reality show Fixer Upper, you know that Chip Gaines believes in surrounding yourself with people who can inspire you and pick you up when you’re down. But finding them isn’t an easy proposition—it starts with learning how to be that kind of person. Joined by his wife, Joanna, and his parents in narrating this honest, kindhearted audiobook, Gaines encourages us to look inward to find those qualities in ourselves. The concept that really resonated with us was Chip’s idea of learning “uncomfortable kindness,” which was inspired by his association with the Black Lives Matter movement. It’s easy to make a donation to a good cause, but it can mean much more to give your time—and to make the effort to find out how you can help most effectively. No Pain, No Gaines inspires us to be and do better.
Customer Reviews
Amazing
I Learned so much from this book.
Chip has a way of explaining things that makes them easy to understand and give you a real visual. He’s also extreme relatable.
Very inspiring and motivational!
We loved it other than this..
We loved Chips first book. It was so inspiring for many different reasons. We listened to it in the truck with our kids.
But this 2nd book, we’ve heard 3 cuss words from Chip and we don’t want our kids hearing words like that so we had to turn the book off. We were disappointed because Chip has some great advice on entrepreneurship, marriage, and life in general. But we can’t tell our kids not to use those words and then listen to books, movies, etc. that use them.
