A book built to be used.
RushPR News ran the story in its Lifestyle section on October 13, 2026. It reports that You Are Capable of More: A No-Excuses Guide to Becoming Your Best Self won the How-To category at the 2026 Paris Book Festival, capping a strong start for a book released on August 13 by Game Changer Publishing that went on to become an Amazon bestseller.
The piece explains why the How-To category fits. Each chapter ends with actions readers can take that same day, and a closing Playbook helps them put the lessons to work. Through honest personal stories, including his own setbacks, Chris shows readers how to move through self-doubt, take ownership of their choices and build the habits that turn good intentions into progress.
It also notes the editorial reviews that followed the launch: a Must Read rating from Reedsy Discovery, A Recommended Read from BookViral and a five-star review from Literary Titan, plus endorsements from professional athletes, Olympians and bestselling authors.
The award recognizes a book meant to be put into practice, not just read. The same idea runs through the website: the free assessment at youarecapableofmore.com shows which barriers are holding someone back and where to focus first, whether or not they have read the book.
