Brad Burton
The books

Four best-sellers.Zero qualifications.

Amazon's #1 rated 5★ business author. Each book asks the same uncomfortable, useful question - and gives you tools to answer it.

The four Brad Burton book spines stacked: Life, Business Just Got Easier, Now What? and more.
01
The original kick-up-the-backside business book

Get Off Your Arse.

Where it all started. The book Brad wrote because he couldn't find the one he needed at 31. Practical, blunt, no MBA jargon.

02
More motivation. More mechanics.

Get Off Your Arse 2.

The follow-up that doubled down on the same uncomfortable, useful question: what more can you do with what you've already got?

03
The handbook for the rebuild

Life. Business. Just got easier..

How to think about life and business as one system - and stop pretending the two don't bleed into each other.

04
Stories from the rise, the wipeout, the rebuild

Funny How Life Works Out.

The most personal one. Pandemic, the stalker, the court case, and what it actually takes to come back from zero - twice.

The new book

Hope. Optimism. Belief.

Your guide to facing difficult times. Written for the moment most business books skip - when fear, pessimism and doubt are running the show, and you need three things back in the tank to make the next decision.
