About this listen

If you were 99 years old and on your deathbed and were given a chance to come back to today, what would you do right now?

Matt Dahlia was a recent college grad with no direction in his life: his business was dead on arrival and all his friends had left town. He was broke and searching for belonging in a world that didn’t understand him. That is, until he serendipitously met Thomas, who not only felt the same way he did, but had a project in mind: Together, along with two more like-minded strangers, they were going to move into a one-bedroom apartment and film themselves doing 30 things they had never done before in 30 days.

That summer project changed their lives forever: it pushed them out of their comfort zones, bonded them for life, and allowed them to reach a wide audience online. Their journey would eventually become Yes Theory, a massive movement of millions of people living by the philosophy of seeking discomfort.

In this memoir, Matt reveals the extreme highs and lows of Yes Theory, sharing his own along the way. This is a story about the sacrifices it takes to make a dream come true, what happens when a small group of friends suddenly have the attention of millions of strangers online, and what it means to say goodbye when everything seems to be going so well.

But most of all, it’s a reminder to ask yourself that most important question: what do you want out of life?

For many, Matt Dahlia is best known for Yes Theory, the positively inspiring YouTube channel proving to people they can fulfil their dreams by seeking discomfort.

Matt provides a great memoir of his time with Yes Theory detailing vivid personal accounts covering how the chanel started, pivotal moments for him and the group with incredible stories. The ambition, to promote that we will find happiness, fulfilment and truth by tackling challenges with a positive attitude to saying Yes.


Matt's personable delivery adds depth to the story's told meaning even if you don't know Matt from his YouTube past, you will be inspired by his words.

I never normally write reviews so here's to a step of discomfort, by giving it a go!

I hope anyone reading this is well and I urge you to find your discomfort to bring you closer to a more fulfilled life.

Great work on the book Matt and good luck in your next venture.
