A skilful part motivational office memoirs style of the book. The two strongest things I found of this book were:

Chris using his own life achievements to requite his real world examples of many motivational quotes or sayings, we older people, have heard many times over, and youngsters will hear, and showing how he used that to achieve one of his goals. To me it did non seem like he was bragging but felt more than like he was maxim "I acchived my dreams you tin can too". This is great especially in a motivational book and him memoir to illustrate the point works perfectly.

The second is Chris has a really talent of mixing pop culture references, and telling stories/memoirs with them. This definitely makes sometime quotes and sayings seem more cullent and relivent. Sort of how he keeps updating his on screen character to be the same mode.

There are many positives I took away from this book. I actually found it eerie while reading this book how many similar situations pop up in my own life. No I practice not run into or hang around with Chris' celebrity friends, merely things like how to deal with your dominate, taking a risk, or even doing something that might pay dividends in the time to come. Things like this do come up daily.

Something else that is fine very well is Chris knows his audience. He knows the majority of his fan base is from wrestling, and then he gives plenty of his insider stories from the wrestling business, mainly WWE simply do mention wrestling effectually the earth and info besides. Likewise for the heavy metal fans there are plenty of stories from or of some of the biggest rock icons of all time.

The only reason this book was very good merely not absolutely peachy for me was because, information technology lacked a sort of inspirational spark all movatiinal books need. An example is Chris would give advice, show how this helped do something in the WWE then the rest of the chapter would keep the story. So sometimes for me the inspirational side would get list in me reading the story. I could be said the it is a testament to his story telling that I as a "constant reader",(read the book to see what they means), got so list in his storytelling.

A very good book, and a great mix of story and movatiinal styles. A lot of slap-up stories and I really like the I achieved my dreams so you can too bulletin. Only missing a niggling something to brand it amazing.

After finishing Jericho's previous volume, "The Best in the World (At What I Have No Thought)", I was pretty confident that if he chose to write a fourth book, I wouldn't be picking information technology up. I plant it boring, defective in substance and purely a money-grab. Withal, here we are. Y'all can blame Kindle for temporarily dropping the price to $4.99.

Later on finishing Jericho's previous book, "The All-time in the World (At What I Accept No Idea)", I was pretty confident that if he chose to write a 4th book, I wouldn't be picking it upwardly. I found information technology boring, lacking in substance and purely a coin-grab. All the same, here nosotros are. You lot can arraign Kindle for temporarily dropping the toll to $four.99.

Earlier I become started, I desire to preface this past maxim that I'one thousand a big fan of his work as a pro wrestler and have often said that he has one of the best minds in the industry. He's e'er on top of his game looking for a way to differentiate himself from his peers by reinventing his grapheme over and over once again. Exterior of the ring, he has an incredible work ethic. When not wrestling, he fronts the metal ring Fozzy, runs his ain podcasting network, and dabbles in both comedy and acting. He fifty-fifty just appear a joint rock and wrestling cruise to set sheet adjacent year! Being the busy human being he is, you'd think he'd have a wealth of interesting stories and anecdotes, right? Well, nearly that…

No Is A Iv Letter Give-and-take is structured similar a cocky-help/motivational volume as Jericho looks to bring out the all-time in his audition and share some of the advice he'south received in the by that helped make him successful. While the book has some decent advice, the problem lies in many of the embarrassing, downright uninteresting stories he chose to share. Stories about fighting traffic to come across Keith Richards, hiding in a bathroom stall to listen to Yoko Ono pee, accepting a phone call from Paul Stanley, throwing upwardly on an aeroplane or making awkward conversation with Paul McCartney were so.. ho-hum. He even equates a chapter about using his celebrity to get a flying upgrade to "not taking no for an answer". What did I just read?

Information technology'south non all bad, however. Jericho tells some interesting stories about WWE caput-honcho, Vince McMahon that to be honest, only made me want a book virtually Vince's life and career even more than (someone make "An Oral History of Vince McMahon" happen, please). It may be just where my interest primarily lies but when Jericho chooses to talk about wrestling, the book seems to really hit its stride. Backside-the-scenes tales about working WrestleMania with Fandango, his feuds with The Wyatt Family, AJ Styles and Kevin Owens were real loftier spots, just nonetheless lacking when compared to the gold standard of his first memoir, A King of beasts's Tale.

For a profession every bit physically demanding as wrestling, I recognize the importance of establishing a career (or many careers) exterior of the industry. My problem with this book is that I merely flat out don't care about anything else this human does. I know that may audio harsh, simply I was bored to tears during the capacity about Fozzy, his podcast or his many, many, many stories nearly KISS. My God, practice I ever hate KISS.

If you lot're a fan of wrestling books, Jericho's first, "A Panthera leo's Tale", is one of the absolute best wrestling memoirs bachelor and I urge you to pick it up. Annihilation later on that is diminished returns.

No Is a Four-Letter Word includes an introduction, epilogue and twenty chapters in-between that share twenty of Jericho's own life lessons and principles on both how to live the life you want and how to achieve your goals. Featuring various tales, stories and anecdotes from both the world of wrestling and the music industry.

My favourites were. For wrestling, the tale of AJ Styles WWE debut and how Jericho got the Styles clash (i of AJ'south finishing moves) unbanned by WWE owner Vince McMahon. As a wrestling fan, I couldn't help only laugh when Jericho states that while Vince had banned 'the Styles Clash' and knew the name of the motility he didn't actually know what the motion looked like!😂

For music, there's a tale where Jericho is asked to be part of Lemmy's (Motorhead) 70th birthday celebrations. It is a pretty cool tale that is fabricated far more poignant by the fact that Lemmy was diagnosed with terminal cancer and sadly, passed away 2 weeks later on his altogether.

Some other tale that stands out is to do with Fozzy (Jericho's ring). Fozzy were touring Europe at the time of the devastating terrorist attacks perpetrated by ISIS in Paris during November 2015. While lots of other bands afterwards decided to postpone their tours, Fozzy continued with their own tour playing in Paris exactly a week later the set on on the Bataclan. Fozzy's backstage banana for their Paris show was at the Bataclan during the attack the previous week and it'southward a moving tale that is full of feeling.

Jericho has a lot of famous friends and he frequently drops their names with a reckless abandon. Whilst reading NIAFLW you'll need to scout your tootsies with all the proper name dropping that takes place! Simply, it never feels similar the names are simply 'there' added to the book just to prove that Jericho knows all these famous people. No, yous really do get a sense and a feeling that they are on the whole all genuine friends of Jericho (who actually does come across every bit a great guy in the book).

Jericho is a very driven guy wanting to be the best that he can be and continually be looking to expand his horizons. Including both successes and failures that he has had along the way, NIAFLW shows how he learnt from his mistakes to obtain his goals. Information technology's like shooting fish in a barrel to run into that Jericho doesn't just 'try' and with everything that he has achieved he does, in fact, follow his own life lessons from the book constantly striving to 'acquire' and 'do' to succeed in his life.

Whether he's playing a heel or a face (bad guy or skillful guy) in wrestling Jericho has always had a charisma most him. the ability that when he speaks and cuts a promo, you listen. He has a mesmerising way with words that make you take notice and Jericho manages to aqueduct that same charisma he uses for wrestling promos into his writing style. Giving you a book that is easy to read, draws you in and offers some deep, meaningful and educational lessons on life that are all told with an abundance of his ain signature style.

For readers looking for a volume with a positive message and for fans of rock music and/or wrestling this truly is an outstanding read. From the offset folio through to the last you volition exist dazzled by Jericho equally he leads you through his life lessons with attitude, charm and a wit that is infectious and highly entertaining.

Side annotation: Since the volume was released over two years ago. Jericho has been keeping himself very busy and has done a lot more both with Fozzy and in the wrestling world. Fozzy has continued to tour and release albums. Jericho created the Rock 'North' Wrestling Rager at Sea. He continues to reinvent himself in wrestling, signed with NJPW, had some classic matches and won the IWGP Intercontinental Championship. And then, most recently he signed with AEW (All Aristocracy Wrestling) and defeated 'Hangman' Adam Folio to become the countdown AEW World champion. All in all, in that location are lots of newer exploits for another entertaining book by Jericho should he choose to write one.

Chris Jericho is not a genius. He writes manifestly, with humor, sometimes through hazy, party-hardy memories. Just he works hard to larn from others, keep inspiring and reinventing himself – to BRING IT he needs to FEEL Information technology – and share stories and motivation with readers.

It'due south easy to think of a hundred reasons why something won't work but I'd rather find the reasons to Get in work. If you want your dreams to come true, stop thinking of excuses and start making realities. This is the way I've always lived my life and that ideology remains my golden rule to this day. (Jericho, 28)

Author of iv books with dual careers (pb vocaliser for his rock band Fozzy and a WWE superstar) spanning decades, Jericho is improve than a genius. With a loving family unit, adept friends, supportive and respected co-workers, global travels, and self-contentment, Chris Jericho is an unexpected teacher. He'southward not but some other pretty face up, cocky-indulgent performer, or mountain of muscle.

Reading this book created a fan. I read it as research for an article ("Why I Let My Kids Picket WWE"). I was looking for something about the WWE corporate culture. Instead, short, funny stories illustrated a uncomplicated lesson in each chapter. Jericho's success story inspires fans of all ages because he achieved his childhood dream to be both a rockstar and a WWE star.

Referring to a scene from Dawn of the Dead,

In that location'southward a lesson at that place: it may not be like shooting fish in a barrel, but you can e'er observe a style to make information technology work. Even if we're talking virtually the struggles nosotros face every twenty-four hours, it's worth it to battle through the zombies to get what you want. (Jericho, 29)

This is a motivational book from someone who has had smashing success as a pro wrestler, stone star, author and more...in other words, someone who knows what he'due south talking nigh. I started reading this a while ago, but stopped after the start few chapters. It's not that I didn't like it, I merely felt like I wasn't ready for the knowledge. I wanted to be able to apply what I was reading and it was difficult because the place I worked was going out of business concern.

Now, with a fresh career and a clear mind I felt gear up to read this tome and put the info to good apply. This was a quick read once I got going and as a long time fan of wrestling and rock music, I found it to be quite entertaining. Each chapter consists of a lesson that Chris has learned in life from friends, co-workers, relatives and even fictional characters. He and so tells stories most how the lesson has practical to him personally.

Depending on where yous know Chris from, your interest in the stories may vary. If y'all're a wrestling fan, you lot'll probably be in to a lot of what he'due south saying. If you lot don't know who he is at all, y'all still may bask them every bit he often puts a humorous twist on things. Though I admit, a couple of them are a flake strange. For example, the time he met Yoko Ono.

As for the lessons themselves, a lot of them can be applied to what ever career or hobby you're pursuing in life. I wouldn't say in that location'southward annihilation groundbreaking hither. A lot of what he says is mutual cognition, information technology's just that sometimes we all need a fiddling guidance and it helps to hear the words coming from another person. The fact that it'south coming from someone who has enjoyed so much success in life helps.

Do the lessons actually work? I don't know, check in on me a year from now and come across how I'm doing! If non, then at least the book made for an entertaining read.

Chris Jericho is ane of my all-time favourite wrestlers. I've read his trilogy of autobiographies (A Panthera leo's Tale, Undisputed, The All-time in the World...) which end at his triumphant 2013 Royal Rumble. Therefore I was going into this book with the same mindset, that information technology would pick upward from where he left off and continue.

However this was a semi-self-help-autobiography hybrid where he has written about life lessons and elaborated upon how he reflected them in his life. Self help isn't really my cup of tea so I didn't actually treat information technology but the incidents and nuggets he shared nigh his life and career were all fun to read. At that place is a lot of name dropping of rock legends simply I'm non a huge rock fan so I couldn't recognize or capeesh the value of the proper noun dropping per se. The wrestling bits I enjoyed thoroughly.

Chris has a funny, corny, dad-jokey way of writing that I observe squeamish to read. He uses ample puns and double entendres. He writes in a uncomplicated and direct fashion and it is very conversational in tone. Sometimes his confidence comes across as airs and sometimes he pretends to write as an big-headed character, which can be confusing to distinguish. Nonetheless information technology is always fun equally a 'mark' to be a wing on the wall for such people, to notice out what these guys do backstage and how they are backside their characters. This was a decent read that I breezed through in a couple of days.

I pre-ordered NO IS A 4-Letter WORD sight unseen—literally; information technology didn't have a cover—months ago. It was Chris Jericho's fourth volume. That'due south all I needed to know. While NO is autobiographical, information technology's Jericho'south fourth book only insofar as it'due south the quaternary volume he's written. It doesn't follow the more than-or-less linear trajectory of his previous 3 memoirs, charting his course through wrestling, music, and life.

But that's advisable. Like Jericho, NO is a reinvention of Jericho'south writing formula. Part memoir, part self-aid guide, part motivational tool, the book consists of twenty life lessons and the events and people that drove the lesson dwelling. Chapter 2, The Jericho Principle, is about believing in yourself even—especially—when no one else will. Other capacity espouse the virtue of eliminating sources of negativity, enjoying modest moments, and my personal favorites, committing to and seizing opportunities.

It's one matter to read a self-help book and take its lessons for test drives. Information technology's some other matter to know that a bona fide superstar like Chris Jericho has had its share of ups and downs, but has nonetheless become a success story. Jericho's wit, hilarious pop-culture references, and conversational writing style are all on display and used effectively in NO, but what really sells the book is his artlessness. Sure, Jericho became the first undisputed world's champion, and he's enjoyed dandy success in music besides, only not everything he'southward touched has turned to golden. What makes NO piece of work is Jericho'due south readiness to admit when things didn't work out, and what he learned from those occasions—lessons arguably even more than important than what he learned when things did become his style.

While I was hoping Jericho would dig into stories like his best friendship with Kevin Owens, the fulcrum of his most recent run in WWE, NO IS A FOUR-Letter of the alphabet WORD concluded upwards being and so much more than than a collection of wrestling anecdotes. Jericho's grounded, self-deprecating personality sold me on every lesson and every page.

Given we were pretty much up to date with the life and times of Jericho when he left us, I really had to question simply how much mileage he'd get out of what little he had left to write about. In truth, I bought the book out of pure loyalty to the human.

No Is A Four-Letter Word took me completely by surprise. I was genuinely entertained throughout. He tells stories from all across his life in no chronological order, and they're written in the same Jericho fashion, with quips, in-jokes and pop civilisation references. While some of the stories are non told for the first fourth dimension, there is plenty of fresh content.

I recollect the primary reason why this book is so enjoyable is that it is formatted as a "cocky help" book. Each chapter begins with a bold argument, a life lesson he's learned. For example "Practice or no not, the Master Yoda Master". In the chapter he'd explain why "doing" instead of "trying" was so pivotal to his success. He'd so requite his anecdotes and how they pertain to the lesson he's trying to teach. I think this format has led to the book being far more introspective and honest than his previous ones, and that's why No Is A Four-Letter Word is worth your time.

This is a inspirational, self help sort of volume. It was what I'd of gone for, had I known the exacts when I bought it. I just assumed it was another volume picking upwardly from the terminal one and standing to tell the story of Jericho. While it does that, information technology does besides offer a neat insight into what fabricated Chris Jericho the wrestler and Chris Jericho the musician. With only a curt twenty chapters, each is different to the final and each offers more on the how, why and what in life.

I wasn't sure at first, but as the stories continued, the chapters started to make more than sense and I loved the concept behind the book. While it wasn't what I was expecting and with it being on the smaller side when it comes to a Jericho book - I still did savour this ane. I learned some things I didn't know about wrestling and music, while also having a laugh along the way. While information technology's the weakest of his four books, it yet is a fun read and one you should give a go at some point.

I dig Chris's non-stop ring and pop civilisation asides, fifty-fifty when they wing over my caput.

The simply part of the volume that overstayed its welcome for me was a few too many tales on Chris getting starstruck when meeting music celebrities like Yoko and Mick Jagger. Nonetheless I really enjoyed his capacity dealing with the Scorpions and Lem from Moorhead. If you are worried about the book beingness too much focused on music instead of Wrestling I think you should exist alright because it is well-nigh one-half and half and Jericho's writing fashion kept me plugged in fifty-fifty when talking about acts I was but slightly familiar with.

Information technology's not a bad volume by any stretch, just don't go in expecting pocket-size stories about the previous five years of Jericho's life.

He is funny, entertaining and inspirational. I can't wait to read his other books.
