HOW I LOST MY LEFT NUT & OTHER LIFE LESSONS
HOW TO LIVE A MAXED OUT LIFE
SEVENTEEN TRUE STORIES
THIRTY YEARS OF GETTING IT WRONG AND FIGURING OUT HOW TO GET IT RIGHT
This is the book I wrote for the person who is already building something and still knows something is off. And for the one who loves them and sees it before they can say it out loud.
A bottle rocket in the butt. A motorcycle wreck that cost me a body part. A marriage I nearly destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. A Jeep fire. Guns drawn at 2 AM. A marathon in the rain with my bride.
Every story is followed by the lesson I actually learned and a three-step strategy you can run the same week you read it.
FOR THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO DO THE WORK
THE FREE COMPANION WORKBOOK
Every chapter ends with a strategy you can run the same week you read it. The workbook turns all seventeen into something you actually fill in, with the lines, the dates, and the one question that makes you do it instead of just read it. Drop your email and it is yours.
WHAT'S INSIDE
STORY · LESSON · STRATEGY, IN EVERY CHAPTER
01
THE STORIES
Seventeen true ones from thirty years of building, breaking, and rebuilding. The wreck. The fire. The marriage crisis. The 2 AM break-in. Told the way one person tells another when nobody is performing.
02
THE LESSONS
Every chapter pulls a real lesson out of a real disaster. Not theory. Not borrowed wisdom. What actually worked, written by a guy who lived it and is still living it.
03
THE STRATEGY
Actionable steps you can run the same week you read them. Not motivation. Actual moves to make in your work, your marriage, and your own head, written by a coach who runs them himself.
FOREWORD BY MARKUS KAULIUS, USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR
"Every word reads like a story coming from a buddy who is always down to jump on the couch, watch the game, and drop and do twenty. It's raw, honest, and vulnerable. Nowhere will you feel he is puffing up his chest or looking to impress you."
— MARKUS KAULIUS

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
KEVIN DAVIS
Kevin Davis has been married to his bride Michelle for more than thirty years and has spent the last twenty-five of those years coaching men and couples through the wreckage and the rebuild. He is the founder of Maxed Out Man and Maxed Out Marriage, the creator of the Marriage Translator app, and the guy his friends call when their marriage is on fire or their business is upside down.
He holds degrees in Exercise Physiology and Business and has built and sold companies across health, fitness, technology, automotive, and coaching. He has been broke, burned, broken, and rebuilt. He almost lost his marriage. He nearly lost his life. And yes, the title of this book is literal.
What he hasn't lost is the conviction that a person can build a life worth living, a marriage worth fighting for, and a legacy worth leaving, no matter how far off the rails they've gotten.
He lives in Montana with Michelle, and their two dachshunds who run the house.
