not quite what the title says.
More an autobiography. Interesting story and there was some helpful advice but I fail to see how chapters on the Yankees right to bare arms and the problem with Islam is relevant. Not a great follow up to 3% man which was an excellent book.

Corey Wayne’s teachings are priceless!
September 8, 2023
I knew Corey Wayne already from his Youtube video's a while ago when I was going through a rather rough period in life, and I think he often gives amazing advice on a bunch of topics
I never really finished his other book, mainly because I felt like I knew his work well enough from his videos about relationships, so I felt like I didn't need to finish it (yet atleast).
Then I found out about this book, and with his track record in my mind and the title of this book, I was intrigued.
I am bit torn about it, if I'm being honest. Most of the book, I really like. I do feel however that the title might be a bit misleading, that it is way too long (600 pages) for what it's trying too tell, and that some choices are rather odd.
I wouldn't call this book "Mastering Yourself". If I had to give it an honest title, it would be "The life lessons of Corey Wayne". Why so you ask? Because most of the book is about events and times in the life of Corey Wayne, often followed up with a bit of advice. Personally I don't mind the stories, and I think they were an interesting read, but I get why people could be disappointed when so much about it is more biographical than practical advice.
Because so much stories were told (very detailed may I add), the page count of this book is very high. For some of the stories this is understandable, but a lot could've been shorter and still get the message across.
Finally, in my opinion, there were some "odd choices" and sometimes wrong information during the book. For example, the last ±40 or so pages are the Constitution of the United States of America, because Corey finds them inspirational. Being not American, I felt like that kinda dragged on and wasn't important for me that much.
There also was a short segment about the bartering AI experiment of Facebook and fear mongering of the AI's "developing a more efficient language than humans use". I was interested, looked it up online and found out that the language they talked about were just certain words and phrases repeated from which the AI knew would be "highly scored", but are just English gibberish like "i can i can i can can can want" (full article about this is on towardsdatascience.com). It was a rather easy thing to research, so this did make me skeptical about other points in the book, and how much other points could be misinformed.
Still I felt like I got a lot out of it, Corey's story is very inspirational and his views on certain topics are a breath of fresh air in the extremely polarized hellscape that is the world today. I do like that Corey acknowledges crises in other parts of the world like Europe, gives practical diet advice and that he can find certain patterns and lessons in his life.
Overall; pretty good read, could've just been a bit shorter in my opinion.

Title not necessarily matches the content
Corey Wayne is an amazing relationship coach, I’ve read his other book 3% man and it’s amazing, I expected another kind of content here, but it seems to be more like an autobiography and a resemblance of USA and the political direction that must have rather than a book aligned to his own title. I’d say it’s written for true nationalists of USA but for the people who was born in another countries, we don’t need that much info about that country.

Too much of unwanted stuff at the end of the book
October 24, 2025
“Mastering Yourself” is a refreshingly practical deep dive into personal growth in the real world and not some vague “manifest your destiny” fantasy, but actual, workable insights on how to navigate career, relationships, and self mastery while living in the reality of modern day America. I especially appreciated the sections on interviewing, finding your calling, and building your dream career one smart step at a time rather than leaping off a cliff and hoping for wings.
My only small gripe: I wish (or hope, maybe he did) Corey had changed the names of a few ex friends he mentioned. It made me feel a bit sad for him because people grow, and forgiveness can happen. It would be unfortunate if those bridges were burned forever just because their stories got cemented in print. One red flag of hypocritical naivety especially with him mentioning his religious background. His arguably immature chip on his shoulder gives me the vibe he takes things a little too far sometimes. That was hard to shake at times despite the overall wisdom, though I do appreciate his insight on why understanding how America works makes you appreciate the nation more than hate it due to misunderstanding reality.
As a result, this book stands out as one of the more realistic, honest and rawly human takes on personal development I’ve read, a mix of tough love, insight, and authentic experience, and even entire sections for things that are part of the whole picture but you’d never expect to be included like his emphasis on health and diet including alkaline diets and grounded valuable tips to keep yourself from getting sick, that should be taught to kids in schools with the obesity rates in our nation. Overall, an invaluable read and I especially liked his advice on job interviews and the mindsets that make you stand out. Highly recommended.

Corey is a real life coach, who teaches stuff that works not only theories. That is why I read his two books multiple times (my goal is to read them 10 times as he strongly recommends).
In this second book he tells us his story, how he was raised, his education, and all of his struggles and success stories after graduation. Along the way he reflects a lot on his journey, and extracts useful lessons which really resonate with me.
The only point I have against this book is the part dedicated to politics and the praise to Donald Trump who is a controversial person (Corey is proud of his view although he knows that many of his followers don't like it, a typical 3% man behavior).
I do recommend this book, because it has many lessons for personal life, work, and to the society as well. Thanks for Coach Corey Wayne, who has a great impact on my view of life despite the cultural difference between us.

Corey Wayne is example.
Everything starts with Ethos - who you are. Therefore when I look for the books to teachers, or books I look at the writers. To be precise this book has been ghost written by Wayne Bloemhof, good writing takes a lot of rewriting and that makes the material even more better.
Having read the Corey Wayne's first book over 17 times (I lost count, check my Goodreads), I decided to give this second book a shot as well. Self-mastery is inspirational book about whole life experience. I enjoyed especially the entrepreneurial side of his life as I am entrepreneur myself.
Your best thinking got you there where you are now. That's something to think about.

Listened to the audible version.
The book contains several insights for those who are familiar with the authors first book or his YouTube content. Some quick points:
1. This book is focused on the ups and downs of ones life.
2. It teaches you how to remain in a relaxed and peaceful state of mind when setting goals or conquering difficult tasks.
3. It emphasises physical, emotional and psychological health for quality of life outcomes.
While a great book, I would not recommend it for those unfamiliar with his previous works.

There are glimpses of helpful guidance in Mastering Yourself, and Corey Wayne clearly wants to inspire people to take control of their lives. Unfortunately, the book frequently veers off into political territory — with extended commentary on gun rights, anti-Islam rhetoric, and culture-war themes that feel out of place in a self-help context. While some readers may resonate with his views, I found the tone divisive and distracting. This could’ve been a much stronger book if it had stayed focused on personal growth rather than turning into a political soapbox.

This book is amazing but painfully long. Corey's life doesn't leave a thread of doubt on the definition of "inspiring" - as he recollects his personal and professional experiences, the reader can be exposed to the many setbacks a person can have in their common life, not what we see on the spotlight of the average influencer. Highly recommended book to read if you feel like, somewhat, you're "lost" in your life

Too much info about his personal life, and also about USA matters that non-USA residents can’t really relate too.
I loved the previous book (which I must have read like 10-15 times) but this one I really can’t recommend to anyone not already liking Corey’s work. Too long as well, could have easily been like half the pages.

Care about what people think and you will always be their prisoner. This book highlights the down-low of the author during his early years and how he turns all the misfortune into a successful life. The highlights of advice would be probably-adopt a superstar mindset. Very good autobiography/self-help book. Way too many pages though.

The book is basically Corey telling you his life story for almost 700 pages. The meaty part is short and rare. I don't know why Corey thinks that's interesting to anyone who's not his therapist. Disappointed.

Ready for the next book!
A reat book that is loaded with various useful info. I learned alot and look forward to the next book!

Highly recommended! It's more of a focus on yourself and gives you insight to the current predicament facing society today.
July 23, 2020
Dull and obvious, author had great insights into his family but beyond that it was rather limited. Its okay if you're totally new to self help.
March 5, 2021
Author`s own stories about his life experiences was pretty good & captivating read. But this philosophical part about everything else like gun rights, EU or islamism were just plain weak.
October 7, 2021
Tries to cover too much and does it all too thinly.
March 9, 2022
The book gives insights into how to manage your health first, and move from that to pursue your true purpose in life.
February 9, 2023
So much wisdom and I love how Corey thinks, but as a non American, to much irrelevant stuff for 5 stars
January 11, 2024
Me gusta más su primer libro sin embargo es un muy buen libro

very weak compared to a first book, a mash of everything at once.
