The Diary of a CEO

The 33 Laws of Business and Life

By: Steven Bartlett

Narrated by: Steven Bartlett

A galvanizing playbook for success from Steven Bartlett, one of the world’s most exciting entrepreneurs and the host of the No. 1 podcast The Diary of a CEO

"This is a must-read for anyone dreaming of doing something audacious." Jay Shetty

"Valuable lessons about the importance of following a different and unconventional path to power.” Robert Greene

At the very heart of all the success and failure I've been exposed to - both my own entrepreneurial journey and through the thousands of interviews I’ve conducted on my chart-topping podcast - are a set of principles that ensure excellence.

These fundamental laws underpinned my meteoric rise, and they will fuel yours too, whether you want to build something great or become someone great. The laws are rooted in psychology and behavioral science, in my own experiences, and those of the world's most successful entrepreneurs, entertainers, artists, writers, and athletes, who I’ve interviewed on my podcast.

These laws will stand the test of time and will help anyone master their life and unleash their potential, no matter the field.

They are the secret sauce to success.

"I’ve watched Steven Bartlett’s journey from the start, always knowing he had that raw, fiery spark. Seeing him harness it, seeing him succeed, damn, it fills me with pure, undiluted pride. I’m on the sidelines, cheering him on, because this guy embodies the entrepreneur’s spirit." -Gary Vaynerchuck, author of Twelve and a Half

The Best I’ve Read

The laws are smart, versatile and pliable. Steven is very impressive and it’s going to be a pleasure working with him in a year or two. Yes, I’m saying it here.

after the first few minutes, I bought the hardcopy

5 cups and I am determined to start with the first one for the rest of this period of my life until I am ready for the next and then the next....in order diligently and honestly. First thing I learnt was to evaluate where I am..
am I already knowledgeable and have applied that knowledge? am I ready to release and distill that knowledge clearly...if I am not gonna attract the right people and develop the reputation I will soon learn is who I am, yet.

Sooo...I have work to do. So work I shall.

Thanks for making use of that brain of yours Steven. Live long, healthy, hungry for knowledge and keep teaching yourself so I can learn from you. The best use of time is truly understanding how to make yourself the best self and most useful and that you are doing so keep it up.

Continuing my journey

This book has inspired me to continue my growth. while teaching me many new views and reinforcing beliefs about management I already had. I'm a recovering alcoholic 2 years sober that also finally got diagnosed with ADHD. I've spent my life wondering why I have so much knowledge yet no motivation to move forward amd struggling in my personal life. finding myself I've already moved up 2 levels in my corporation from a telecommunications tech to a network project manager (the tech field you said PM's make the most so I guess I got lucky). But I want to move higher and use my positive personality to help others grow and my company grow. I also have my own ambitions that I feel now, thanks to this book, have a clear goal in mind. It almost felt like this book was written for me, thank you so much.

Lots of enthusiasm

The writer is only 30 years old and just wait until he hits his 40s and 50s. I love it when people hit real life. He hasn’t yet. But he will just like everyone else.

Just Awesome

Great book. Great author. Great audio performance. Just a good damn book. I love this dude 🤣😍

Actionable insights for life

Love this author and this book. He has critical experience himself (credibility) and continually learns from the best in every vertical and synthesizes key learnings into actionable life laws, here in this book. Highly recommend.

Just finished the book and can’t wait to start it again.

This book has so much fantastic information that I just finished it and am immediately starting it again. I read a lot and this book is probably the best business book I’ve ever read.

Amazing with so many takeaways!

Nothing every part was well delivered. I will look into many of the topics he raised.

Great Book!

So many little gems in this book! Ordered the physical book as well to highlight the plethora of quotes and takeaways. Highly recommend

Excellent, just like the DOAC podcast!

Practical advice based on real examples! Provides both failed and successful methods. Well organized thoughts. Read by the author is always a plus!
