The Motivation Manifesto
Nine declarations to claim your personal power.
The Motivation Manifesto – Brendon Burchard
Motivation is a Choice
We treat motivation like the weather. "I hope I feel motivated today."
Brendon Burchard says this is nonsense. Motivation is not a feeling that strikes you; it is a fire you light. The Motivation Manifesto is a high-octane call to arms to reclaim your agency and stop living a life of fear and conformity.
The Core Concepts
Written in the style of the Declaration of Independence, the book outlines 9 Declarations to claim your personal power.
Meet Life with Full Presence
We are distracted zombies. We worry about the past and stress about the future. Burchard demands that we bring our full consciousness to the now. You cannot be effective if you are not present.
Defy Your Oppressors
The oppressors are not just other people; they are your own doubts and fears. We often play small to make others comfortable. Burchard argues thatdimming your light is a sin against your potential.
Sustain the Fire
Motivation doesn't last. Neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily. You must have daily practices/rituals that reignite the engine, or you will naturally drift back to mediocrity.
