For one, when people referenced football they meant soccer. So when Michaels father suggested he work toward a college scholarship by playing football in Texas, where tens of thousands of people show up for a weekend game, the odds were long. Yet he did, indeed, land a scholarship and from there a draft into the NFL where he scaled the leagues heights, broke records, and helped his team win the Super Bowl as a result of which he was inducted into the Hall of Fame. How? By developing Strahans Rules-a mix of mental discipline, positive thinking, and a sense of play. He also used the Rules to forge a successful post pro-ball career as cohost with Kelly Ripa on Live!-a position for which he was considered the longshot-and much more.In Wake Up Happy, Michael shares personal stories about how he gets and stays motivated and how readers can do the same in their quest to attain their life goals.Here are a few of Strahans Rules:1) Listen to other people, but dont take their opinions for fact. Have your own experiences. Draw your own conclusions.2) You cant change other people but you can change how you act around them. Usually, thats more than enough.3) Dont pre-judge. Help can-and will-come from the most unexpected places. Be open to everything around you.Inspiring and chock full of advice that will help the reader make significant strides toward pursuing his or her dream, Wake Up Happy is a book no one, young or old, male or female will want to miss.
