"The Motivation Manifesto is a poetic and powerful call to reclaim our lives and find our own personal freedom. It's a triumphant work that transcends the title, lifting the reader from mere motivation into a soaringly purposeful and meaningful life. I love this book." - Paulo Coelho

The Motivation Manifesto is a pulsing, articulate, ferocious call to claim our personal power. World-renowned high performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater Personal Freedom. We desire the grand liberties of choice-time freedom, emotional freedom, social freedom, financial freedom, spiritual freedom. Only two enemies stand in our way: an external enemy, defined as the social oppression of who we are by the mediocre masses, and an internal enemy, a sort of self-oppression caused by our own doubt and fear.

The march to Personal Freedom, Burchard argues, can be won only by declaring our intent and independence, stepping into our personal power, and battling through self-doubt and the distractions of the day until full victory is won. Recalling the revolutionist voices of the past that chose freedom over tyranny, Burchard-at times poetic yet always fierce-motivates us to free ourselves from fear and take back our lives once and for all.
“A wonderful primer on the art and science of mindfulness. Includes really practical advice for easing the speed and anxiety of modern life by altering our habits of mind.”
— Susan Piver, founder of The Open Heart Project and author of How Not to Be Afraid of Your Own Life and The Wisdom of a Broken Heart

“The Mindful Manifesto is a wonderful overview of mindfulness meditation—comprehensive, honest, and compassionate. This book helps make mindfulness accessible to all.”
— Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Happiness

“This thoughtful guide explains both why we should be more mindful and—so important—how to do it. Written in a warm-hearted and peaceful voice, this book is clear, direct, down-to-earth, and profound.”
— Rick Hanson, Ph.D., author of Buddha’s Brain

“If you want to know why mindfulness has gone mainstream, read the first chapter. If you want to learn how it can help you, read the rest of the book. It’s as clear a presentation of mindfulness practice as you’ll find anywhere.”
— Barry Boyce, editor of The Mindfulness Revolution and www.mindful.org

“A lucid and highly practical guide to how mindfulness techniques can be of enormous benefit to our health, relationships, and peace of mind.”
— Mick Brown, author of The Spiritual Tourist and The Dance of 17 Lives

“The Mindful Manifesto offers a fresh perspective on ancient wisdom. It is authentic, timely, and hugely needed.”
— Peter J. Conradi, author of Going Buddhist and Iris Murdoch

“A thoroughly well-written book that will serve as an excellent guide for anyone wishing to understand or practice mindfulness.”
— Dr. David Hamilton, author of How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body and Why Kindness Is Good for You

“An excellent manifesto for making small mindful changes that can make a huge difference in how you go through life. The authors are engaging, humorous, and candid about some of the common struggles with mindfulness, including their own. Heartily recommended.”
— Marsha Lucas, author of Rewire Your Brain for Love

“The Mindful Manifesto helps us to ‘be’ more and to ‘do’ less. It’s old wisdom backed by modern science, beautifully described.”
— Professor Richard Layard, Well-Being Program Director, London School of Economics
