Quotes from Heavy Metal Is My Life Coach

“Heavy metal makes me a better person. Metal reminds me how to live. It reiterates the core self-help principles and drills those into my headbanging head. Confidence, overcoming fear, independence, self-worth. It’s all there, in your face, and backed by thundering sound and explosive energy. It’s the motivator to destroy all motivators. It’s the power source always at the ready. Heavy metal is my life coach. ”

Use Heavy Metal to Fill Your Mind with Positivity
“One thing about self-esteem, it has no basis in reality. Self-esteem is all perception, no reality. And perception can be changed. It’s fungible. We can shape it to our benefit. It’s a belief. You are going to have to become a believer. A believer in yourself. ”

Use Heavy Metal to Build Self-Confidence
“Dr. Anthony [performance consultant] recommends, ‘Speaking aloud or listening to music while using repetition to impress an idea in your subconscious will increase the intensity of the vibrations and help you impress the information more quickly.’ Listening to music will increase the intensity he says. And what genre of music is the most intense? Heavy metal of course.”

Use Heavy Metal to Reveal the Important Things in Life
“So don’t assume vacuuming up lots of cash is going to put a perpetual smile on your face. And don’t assume buying stuff is going to create lasting happiness. It isn’t. ”

Use Heavy Metal to Impel You to Action
“In their song “Take Hold of the Flame,” Queensryche majestically expresses the tragedy of wasted opportunity that hesitation results in. We don’t know what’s out there. It won’t be easy, but to not take action is to lose.”

Use Heavy Metal to Drive You to Take Risks
“Although the term motorbreath refers to the effluvium produced by the exhalation of a person that has overindulged in alcohol, there’s a deeper message in James Hetfield’s lyrics. Life can be hard but once you taste what it has to offer, you can’t go back.”

Use Heavy Metal to Urge You to Persevere
“[motivational speaker] Les Brown told us not to let the energy drainers slow you down. Motorhead tells us not to let the sons of bitches grind you down.”

Use Heavy Metal to Focus Your Energy
“From the 1976 album 2112, the song “Something for Nothing” is an anthem to the power of doing. The song is a potent reminder that you won’t get anywhere in life sitting on your ass waiting for things to happen.”

Use Heavy Metal to Compel You to be Extreme
“If there is one thing heavy metal is known for it’s being over the top. Metal is extreme, exaggerated, and intense. If rock and roll is a sandwich, heavy metal is a triple decker with a pound of meat, dripping melted cheese, gobs of mayo, and six toothpicks holding it together. You don’t bob your head to metal, you bang it. You don’t dance to it, you slam. You don’t listen to it, you crank it.”

Use Metal to Remind You to be Appreciative
“You might think heavy metal is not the place to look for messages of compassion and gratitude. To an extent that is true, you will be hard-pressed to find heavy metal lyrics imploring you to write a letter to your mom about how much you appreciate her. But what you will find are songs about how bad things are for some people or how bad they could be for you. In that sense, heavy metal will lead you to feel more gratitude for what you have.”

Use Metal to Remind You to Enjoy Life
“Life is not just about the destination. It’s about the journey itself. Life is always moving, time is always ticking. You must savor and enjoy every piece of the journey. In fact, there really isn’t any destination. It’s all journey.”

Use Metal to Envision Your Legacy
"Warrel [Dane] declares we are on a one-way ride and there is nothing we can do to stop it. A sobering message that reminds us to say all we want to say now before the void takes us.”

4.0 out of 5 stars Insightful, practical, and straight to the point, all in the narrative of rock music!

Insightful, practical, and straight to the point. The book provides clarity, especially in times of need. Definitely one of the books you'll keep on reading until the lessons are part of you.

I wish this book existed during my transformative years, it would have made my life easier.

The author talks about his experiences and how all of us are experiencing similar things, that we are not alone and there are ways (elaborated in the book) to overcome our barriers in experiencing the beauty and fire of life. He also talks about our individual value, to not base our value, and be swayed by external forces. As well as on how to keep on fueling that fire that burns our motivation to move forward with whatever life has in store for us.

All of these lessons are in the narrative of rock music! This made me appreciate rock music more. Such a treat to read.
