Introduction Summary
The Power of One More begins with Mylett explaining his reason for writing the book and outlining his major argument. He tells audiences that he’s been working on the “one more” philosophy for over three decades. Mylett promises to “change your relationships, finances, emotions, the way you do business, your outlook on life, and more” (1) with the one more mindset. By always practicing the one more mindset, readers can move closer to the life they want to live.
Mylett distinguishes his book from others in the self-help genre. He assures readers that his book is not a “how to succeed in business” or a “how to succeed in relationships” book (3). Rather, the book prescribes techniques that will help readers enhance their lives. He also advertises his book as applicable to everyone. Performance, athletics, business, education, and parenting can all be improved using The Power of One More. Mylett relates to readers by telling them that he’s been in their situation: struggling with life’s problems, battling negative emotions, and failing to live up to his potential. Like the reader, he has faced struggles with his health, mentality, relationships, and self-esteem.
