The Price of Becoming Launches TODAY!

After three years of research and writing, my 4th book is out today! It's called The Price of Becoming.
I believe The Price of Becoming is the most comprehensive and practical guide to understanding the power of compounding as it relates to your life as a leader. The book draws on proven behavior change ideas and explains them in a way that is easy to understand and apply. It also includes dozens of new stories and insights I've never written about.
​
​I'm writing today to ask for your help. For 11+ years, I have shared podcasts and essays for free on LearningLeader.com, and now I need your help to spread the word about the book.
​

Remember Ramit Sethi's book-buying rule. "If you're considering buying a book, even for 2 seconds, then buy it. If it has one life-changing idea, then it's definitely worth it."

Thank you so much. I am so excited about you reading The Price of Becoming. I'm certain it will change your life if you read it and implement the ideas in it.

​P.S. I asked a few friends to read an early version of the book. Here's what they said about it...
​
​"THE PRICE OF BECOMING refuses to sell you a shortcut. Instead, Hawk shows how small daily deposits — one hundred shots, five hundred words, a single tough conversation — compound into something that looks like an overnight success to anyone who wasn't paying attention. This is a clear-eyed, powerful book.” - Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of DRIVE, WHEN, and THE POWER OF REGRET​
​

"Having led in environments where preparation, discipline, and trust determine outcomes, I found The Price of Becoming deeply authentic. Ryan Hawk captures a truth familiar to those in uniform: excellence is earned through consistent effort, accountability, and the willingness to stay uncomfortable long after others stop.” - General Stan McChrystal (U.S. Army, Ret.), four-star general and bestselling author of Team of Teams.​
​
​"Most books about success focus on the highlight reel. Ryan Hawk focuses on the reps — the daily, unglamorous work that compounds into something extraordinary. The Price of Becoming is a sharp, practical playbook for anyone willing to stay in the arena long after the excitement fades." -- David Epstein, NYT best-selling author of Range

"I knew Ryan Hawk was serious when he interviewed me. His preparation was exceptional, his curiosity genuine. In combat sports, you see who did the work and who didn't. There's nowhere to hide. Ryan brings that same ruthless clarity to excellence in any arena. The Price of Becoming shows exactly what the best do differently. Not the motivational speech version, but the actual daily practices they won't compromise on. If you're serious about your craft, read this book.” - Ariel Helwani, Multiple-time MMA Journalist of the Year​

I think you'll enjoy it just as much as they did. I'd be extremely grateful if you ordered the book for yourself and/or a friend.
