Great read by a great man
Stray is one of the most inspirational guys on television. This book will make you laugh, push you to activate your wildest dreams, challenge you to give 110% on just about everything you do from menial chores to cultivating relationships. Your heart will be warmed with sweet and emotional stories about his family and the depth of love he has for his parents, children, and everyone in his circle. I recently started a small business and needed help pushing past frustration. This book helped me press forward and showed me the importance of partnership. Thank you Michael for the transparency. Great book!

Very Motivating
A friend of mine recommended Michael Strahan's book, Wake Up Happy, as a book that my adult students might like to read. Most of my students have had a fair to good amount of failure in their lives, along with daily struggles just to survive. I wanted a book that would be encouraging, but also provide an inside look of someone who has had a fair amount of struggles in his own life.Michael makes a lot of good points in the book and encourages readers to examine themselves in regards to where the current and future are taking them. We're reading the book as a book study and the guys are eager to discuss what they learn from each chapter. Mike provides a lot of quotes that can easily be used as a self-reflection writing task.I also like that the book is written at a level in which most of my students can read it. This is very important. Adult learners want to be able to read material like anyone else. If it becomes a struggle, they usually give up on the reading and have no desire to finish the book no matter how good it is.I recommend Wake Up Happy for any adult or late teen to read. It's a good review of things that we already know, it's packed full of encouraging ideas, and it motivates readers to make positive changes. The book is a quick read. I read it in 3 days, for just an hour or two at time.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The content was relevant as he used many of his life examples, but it was an easy read as well. "Wake up happy" is not a happy, happy, be chipper type of book. The author provides basic strategies for areas such as: not giving up on your dreams or relationships and the value of hard work.I had a friend ask me "what makes Michael Strahan a noted authority on dreaming and being happy?" My answer was and still is "it's his demeanor and accomplishments." It's quite obvious that none of his successes in life were handed to him. He displays a very strong work ethic and an ability to roll with the punches. This author shares his setbacks and failures as well as his accomplishments. All the more reason to respect him.

Only you can make you happy, but this book can help suggest some ways
I loved this book. It was highly motivating, light hearted, but also impactful. Strahan is an extremely hard worker, but he shows that if you have your priorities straight and know how to manage your stress and temper expectations, you will be much happier.I have employed many of the things I learned at various points and did sense a positive change in my overall mood and energy. The suggested playlist at the end was one of my favorite parts because it's a no effort quick fix. So simple, swap your morning alarm for some motivating music. Small change = big impact.

Happy I Read It
I enjoy books about sports and sports figures. I've also enjoyed watching Michael Strahan's transition from football to television and his wit and personality can be a bit addictive.Strahan tells his story in an entertaining and humble way and reminds the reader that anything is possible.After reading WAKE UP HAPPY and having an opportunity to think about Strahan's individual points about not only happiness but direction and structure in your life I actually purchased a copy for my 21 year old stepson. As I wrote inside the cover, I hope he enjoys it as much as I did!

Michael, I have always admired you because your smile alone exudes positivity, caring and your
Michael, your book. Spoke to me in so many ways as I have struggled with anxiety and fears since I was little girl. I am now an energetic 75 year old who is still fighting needless fears and anxieties. I looked up biographies because I wanted to hear stories related to being able to fight imagined demons and to wake happy everyday without feeling fear. Wake Up Happy gave me lots of guidance as to how I might achieve this goal. You are on the top 10 people that I would like to sit Doan with a d chat! Thank you !

Amazing
I purchased this book on Amazon last night and could not even put it down. It is so down to earth, so real. This life is not easy and we all deserve to be happy. Happy is how we define it. It is a guide to living a better life. We transform our lives everyday. Thank you, Michael, for this gift, for your gift. You make it seem so easy, just "Wake Up Happy." Intentionally being happy. Intentionally putting the "line in the water" each and everyday. Next step, creating my playlist. Got to get the paper copy. This one is a keeper. @anzree13

NFL Legend, celebrity and an inspiration
Mr Strahan has surpassed himself with this book. Part biography, part self help and part personal development / inspiration this book has it all. Perhaps I'm bias as a life long Giants fan as Micheal Strahan is one of my all time hero's. But this book shows he isn't perfect. He has the same in securities as you and I. BUT he shares his tips for getting past them and reaching success. Highly recommended!

Tolles, inspirierendes Buch
Michael Strahan's Leben ist sehr interessant. Das Buch gibt einen sehr guten Einblick in die Gedankenwelt und Motivation eines Profisportlers. Auch sein späterer Erfolg ist inspirierend und spannend. Lesenswert!

Book started off as a self help book which is why I bought it, then finished off as the story of Michael Strahan's football career.
