Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I firmly believe that taking charge of your mindset allows you to be in the driver's seat of your life and unlock your potential.

And that's why I'm thrilled to share that my new book is out right now.

It's called The Greatness Mindset. In it you'll learn how to build a plan for greatness through powerful exercises and toolkits designed to propel your life forward. This is the book that I wish I had 20 years ago.

It's everything I've learned in the last decade with the research and the science to

help you unlock your mind. Make sure to go to Lewishouse.com slash 2023 mindset to pick up your copy of my book

adversity always he's wasn't your daughter.

No, no.

But there were, you know, there were other problems in my family and so forth that I dealt with as well.

We'd already, I think, garnered most of what we could from confronting adverse situations.

dementia and she developed it quite young about it started to really manifest itself

in her early 50s and she died when she was 70 and she fell apart over 18 years and she was very physically healthy.

And her husband, who was quite the man about town when he was a young guy, real extrovert.

He took care of her so well, it was absolutely jaw-dropping.
