'How to Try Again is a fun rebuttal to toxic positivity and a world full of over-optimized morning routines. Steve Kamb tells the truth: humans are weird and change is hard. Honest, funny, and genuinely useful.' -Mark Manson, best-selling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F***

'How to Try Again is like a warm, insightful pep talk from your best friend. Kamb pushes back against unrealistic optimization culture and offers humane, practical tools for navigating life when things don’t go as planned. This big-hearted book is packed with stories and humor that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the last page.' -David Epstein, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Range and The Sports Gene

The personal development audiobook for people that don’t have time for personal development.

Some people wake up at 4am, run 15 miles barefoot, and have an ice bath... this audiobook is for the rest of us.

Let’s start with the good news: despite what your brain might tell you, you are not a failure. You are a human who has failed at something. Life is messy, unexpected, and can surprise us at the worst possible time.

In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb gives you permission to be imperfect and ditch the 'tough love' (which doesn’t work) and still get things done. Drawing from his 17 years of experience helping busy people transform their lives at NerdFitness.com, Kamb seamlessly blends philosophy, psychology, real-life stories, and hilarious insights from pop culture to help you confidently navigate life’s chaos.

In this practical and humorous guide, you'll learn how to:

• Embrace failure as the first step, not the last. • Escape the 'Doom Loop' and finally break free. • Strategically tread water when overwhelmed. • Pick the right 'thing' to try next and follow through.

This audiobook isn't for the superhuman few; it’s for anyone who has struggled with consistency and has felt like they're never going to be able to change. The overworked parents, burned-out employees, and frustrated people who can’t seem to make progress.

It’s time to stop feeling less than and start making changes that stick – without the guilt.

'In a culture obsessed with optimization, failure often feels like the end of the story. In How to Try Again, Steve Kamb reframes failure as an invitation to pause and experiment. This is a compassionate and deeply practical guide to navigating failure with curiosity.' - Anne-Laure Le Cunff, neuroscientist and bestselling author of Tiny Experiments.

'Insightful, helpful, funny, wise. Whether you’re pursuing an improvement in your day-to-day life, building the next big thing, or weathering the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Steve Kamb is a brilliant guide.' –Josh Kaufman, bestselling author of The Personal MBA and The First 20 Hours

'How to Try Again shows why setbacks don’t erase progress, and how the stories we tell ourselves after failure determine whether we recover or retreat. This book is a practical guide to rebuilding momentum by reshaping expectations, restoring agency, and making trying again feel possible.' -Nir Eyal, bestselling author of Beyond Belief and Indistractable

'How to Try Again is helpful, vulnerable, and inspiring. If you're in the midst of a pivot, a change, or a plateau, this book is for you and Steve Kamb is your guide.' -Vanessa Van Edwards, Behavioral Researcher and bestselling author of Captivate and Cues
