Trying Again with Steve Kamb

"How to Try Again" is NOW AVAILABLE!

Published 2 months ago • 3 min read

We did it! Holy crap we did it.

Four years ago, I took a big step back from Nerd Fitness to start work on a project that changed my life.

I lived a lifetime (and went through chaos) while writing it.

How to Try Again is FINALLY here.

Starting today, you can visit HowtoTryAgain.com and order your copy in 3 different formats - hardcover, ebook, and audio - from wherever you like in the US, Canada, and Italy today.

(If you're in the UK, Ireland, South Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand: it hits bookstores in your country on Thursday, but you can still order today!)

I’ve been publishing a free weekly newsletter for the past 17 years, and this book is the culmination of that effort. If you’ve enjoyed my writing, chuckled at my bad jokes, and felt less alone in this world because of my writing…

I’m asking you to buy this book TODAY.

If you have already bought How to Try Again:
​
You have my undying gratitude! UNDYING! That's the best kind of kind of gratitude!
​
You also have my thanks for your patience this week as I use this newsletter to convince the rest of the internet to be as decisive and good looking and funny and well dressed as you are, and hope they also pick up a copy!
​
We'll be back to regular thought-provoking emails soon, so thanks for hanging tight!

I’m giving away a lot of bonuses for people who order this week, and the details are below.

A few quick notes:

QUICK NOTE #1: Amazon currently has How to Try Again at a big launch week discount. No clue how long it’ll last, but that’s pretty fun!

QUICK NOTE #2: The book is ALSO available literally everywhere else books are sold! How cool is that!?!

Here it is on Amazon Canada and Amazon Italy too!

You should be able to walk into any bookstore in North America and get this book.

QUICK NOTE #3: If you order your copy by the end of THIS WEEK…

You’ll get a slew of Book Bonuses:

  • The 10-hour playlist I listened to on repeat while writing How to Try Again
  • A secret chapter JUST for pre-order folks (coming July).
  • A Nerd Fitness starter guide.
  • Access to my Secret Book club where we’ll discuss this book over the coming months!
  • Other bonuses are coming soon, once I catch my breath.

HOW TO GET ALL THE BONUSES:

Send your receipt from any version of the book, from any country, to 1book@stevekamb.com, to get the bonuses and be entered to win NF Coaching.

All book details are over on HowToTryAgain.com, including all the nice quotes from fellow authors, Publisher’s Weekly review, and more.

This is such a fun week for me, and I'm currently flabbergasted by the support. (A+ word, by the way, I need to say it more).

Thank you for being here with me.

I went through the most challenging years of my life while writing this book (I tell that story in the introduction).

Hell, I'm still going through it.

But I'm here. And so are you.

We can build on this!

This is the hardest I’ve ever worked on any project. It taught me way more about myself than I was expecting. I had plenty of late nights, early mornings, and really tough months to get this across the finish line…

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

This is what I am meant to be doing.

I wrote the crap out of this book.

I hope you can support my work, but no problem if you can’t! I’m so lucky I get to write for a living and share my weird thoughts with the world, and that’s all because of this newsletter. Thanks for being a fellow fallible human, and thank you for your support.

It means more than you realize.

Let’s have a fun launch week, deal?

-Steve

PS: How to Try Again is now out everywhere books are sold in North America (and lots of other countries on Thursday!)

If you're able support my writing by buying a copy today!

(This essay is also published on SteveKamb.com and Substack) I’ve been researching and writing about empathetic behavior change for the last 17 years. (This makes me feel proud and old.) Over that time, I’ve had 50,000 students move through my company Nerd Fitness’s online courses. I’ve also watched Team NF coach around 20,000 busy clients with Nerd Fitness Coaching. Across every age, gender, and demographic, there’s one specific behavioral trait that has popped up repeatedly. It’s probably...

(This essay is also published on Stevekamb and Substack) Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll filmed the wrong movie. In 2023, fresh off the film-festival buzz and success with Johnson’s wildly underrated film Blackberry, he had secured funding to film the third season of their web series turned TV show, “Nirvanna [sic] the Band the Show.” (Yes, it’s the weirdest show title maybe ever.) Ultimately, they decided to pivot and make a feature film instead. Johnson and McCarroll conceived a...
