Effect

Simple Lessons to an Extraordinary Life

Hidden inside your life are lessons that can change everything. The people you've met. The experiences you've survived. The moments that seemed insignificant at the time. They were all teaching you something.

The Premise

You don't need
another secret.

We spend our lives searching for the next book, podcast, expert, or Guru to tell us how to live better. But what if the greatest Gurus of your life have already shown up?

In The Guru Effect, Dr. Dave Braun shares the framework that finally let him see his own life clearly, and the people and moments that taught him how to live it. The framework gave him direction. The Gurus taught him how to walk it. Neither one works without the other.

You need a way to see the board, and the eyes to recognize who has already been handing you the next piece.

Inside, you will learn how to
  • See the seven key areas of your life clearly
  • Break through what is holding you back
  • Recognize the Gurus already in your story
  • Become a Guru for someone else

Built on the Oola Lifestyle Framework: Fitness, Finance, Family, Field, Faith, Friends and Fun.

About the Author

40,000 miles.
44 layers of dreams.

Dr. Dave Braun is an entrepreneur, speaker, and co-author of three international best-selling Oola books on living a balanced, intentional life.

He has driven more than 40,000 miles through 48 states in a vintage VW bus covered in 44 layers of stickers, each carrying a stranger's handwritten dream, and has taught in all 50 states and countries around the world.

He has built companies, endured failure, raised a family, and started over, learning along the way from the people, places, and unexpected moments that became his Gurus. The Guru Effect is what they taught him, and an invitation to discover what yours have been teaching you.
