Because it does.”—Steve HarveySteve Harvey knows intimately what it’s like to face seemingly overwhelming odds. He flunked out of college. He was fired from his job. He was homeless and lived in his car. At one point he owed the IRS millions. In his most inspiring book to date, the number one New York Times bestselling author reveals how he not only survived these trials, but thrived despite them: he took a jump—a leap of faith—and has become one of the most popular, and most successful, entertainers on the planet.Steve first introduced the concept of Jump at the close of a taping of his syndicated hit show Family Feud. Talking to the studio audience as only he can, the Emmy Award—winning host spontaneously delivered passionate advice on the secrets of his success. The video would immediately go viral and be seen by 58 million viewers (and counting) worldwide. In this mesmerizing read, Steve builds on that invaluable advice. In Jump, he explores some vulnerable seasons in his life to use these unfortunate moments—among them, leaving a stable job to pursue his dream of being on television; starting a boys’ mentoring camp, without any support; and revealing, for the first time, the behind-the-scenes mishap of the Miss Universe pageant—to explain his core principles to teach you what it means to jump. Straightforward and profound, these principles include identifying the lessons and blessings in life; utilizing the practice of stillness; putting past mistakes in your rear-view mirror; trusting in God; and taking full responsibility, especially in difficult situations. At the heart of this life-changing work is faith—having the confidence to know that taking your own leap will elevate your life. Jump is Steve’s testimony of what God has done in his life. Take a jump toward the rich life of blessings that God has planned for you.Jump explores seven vulnerable seasons in the Emmy Award-winner life: being homeless and living out of his car, flunking out of college, enduring the emotional turmoil of a second failed marriage, risking stability to pursue his dream of television stardom, overcoming the Miss Universe mishap, blending his family, and owing the Internal Revenue Service 20 million. Steve uses these uncomfortable moments to explain his core principles and teach you what it means to JUMP, such as identifying the lesson and the blessing in all that life brings your way; isolating particular moments in your life when it is necessary to be still and when it is important to take action; implementing humble aggression in order to achieve your dreams, placing past mistakes in your rearview mirror and creating a fresh life story, eliminating people from your life who are weighing you down; and finding ways to take responsibility in the face of adversity.
