Fail Until You Don't - by Bobby Bones (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

#1 New York Times Bestseller

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bare Bones, host of the marquee morning program "The Bobby Bones Show," comedian and dedicated philanthropist delivers an inspirational and humorous collection of stories about his biggest misses in life and how he turned them into lessons and wins.

Bobby Bones is the youngest inductee ever into the National Radio Hall of Fame alongside legends Dick Clark, Larry King, and Howard Stern. As "the most powerful man in country music" (Forbes), he has reached the peak of his profession and achieved his childhood dreams. Each weekday morning, more than five million fans tune in to his radio show.

But as Bobby reveals, a lot of what made him able to achieve his goals were mistakes, awkward moments, and embarrassing situations--lemons that he turned into lemonade through hard work and humility. In this eye-opening book, he'll include ideas and motivations for finding success even when seemingly surrounded by impossible odds or tough failures. He also includes anecdotes from some of his famous friends--Andy Roddick, Chris Stapleton, Charlamagne Tha God, Charles Esten, Brooklyn Decker, Walker Hayes and Asa Hutchinson--who open up about their own missteps.

Bobby's mantra is Fight. Grind. Repeat. A man who refuses to give up, he sees failure as something to learn from--and the recollections in this funny, smart book, full of Bobby's brand of self-effacing humor, show how he's become such a beloved goofball.

From the Back Cover

How do you win? You lose a few times along the way.

Bobby Bones doesn't do anything halfway. Whether it's his success in radio, stand-up, and music; on Dancing with the Stars; or with writing, Bobby works hard and dreams big. But with big dreams come huge risks. Along the way there have been some epic failures, some embarrassing disasters, some confidence killers, and some total misfires.

Yet with each of these setbacks, Bobby has fallen back on the mantra that gets him through, the one he uses to propel himself forward and that has carried him from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, and his troubled childhood to stardom today:

Fight: Deciding what it is you really want; setting your goals; and strategizing and taking the first steps toward those goals.

Grind: Never missing a detail; always being ready and on call; and doing the work no matter how tired, sick, or over it you feel.

Repeat: Having the patience, resources, and resilience to keep doing the same thing over and over until you get what it is you really want.

In Fail Until You Don't, Bobby shares his stories of failures turned to wins, as do some of his famous friends, including Andy Roddick, Governor Asa Hutchinson, Chris Stapleton, his cohost Amy, Charlamagne Tha God, and many more. Full of the humor, humility, and charm that makes Bobby who he is, Fail Until You Don't is a look into what makes him tick and will inspire you to Fight, Grind, and Repeat for what you believe in, too.
