If Not You, Then Who?: Harness Your Strengths To Shift From Addiction To Abundance
“A new paradigm of what’s possible for all of us.” —Hal Elrod, international bestselling author of The Miracle Morning
Addicted to opioids and standing before a federal judge for narcotics possession, twenty-two-year-old Jesse Harless believed his life was over.
It was only beginning.
That rock-bottom moment led Jesse on an odyssey of following his intuition into the unknown, finding recovery, and helping others do the same.
In If Not You, Then Who?, Jesse holds nothing back as he shares the raw devastation and miraculous triumph of his own addiction story. He discovers that recovery is far more than just sobriety; it is a lifelong journey of healing, growth, and transformation that requires consistent action.
He then shares his FEARS recovery toolkit, which contains the same tools, techniques, and habits he used to co-create a life he’s passionate about
• Focus on your recovery
• Elevate your recovery
• Appreciate your recovery
• Resilience in recovery
• Self-care in recovery
Your story matters. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done—nothing has been wasted. It’s possible to co-create the life of your dreams. The time is now.

Reviews
“Jesse Harless has written a true master guide to recovery. His personal story is raw and deeply revealing. He could have easily justified a lifetime of self-destruction, wallowing in the pain of an unfair childhood. Instead, he took that pain and transformed himself into a true sober warrior, using his unique abilities to help others. There are many paths to recovery from addiction, but they all start with true acknowledgment of pain. Jesse could have stopped there, and this book would still have great value. But he has created a true roadmap to healthy sobriety through taking certain actions, digging deeply into the source of pain but also giving the reader real growth exercises and showing them how to be accountable to the results. This book should be on every shelf, whether you are a recovery professional or someone seeking to build a new and better life.” —Charlie Engle, ultramarathon runner and author of Running Man
“Jesse Harless is a gifted storyteller able to share his own ‘gritty’ recovery journey and his intuitive life lessons in a way that invites us all to suit up and show up once more in the exciting game of life!” —Jean LaCour, PhD, founder of ICARE (International Center for Addiction and Recovery Education)
“Jesse Harless’s powerful story of addiction and recovery would be enough to inspire and motivate others dealing with similar struggles. But he also brings to this book a practical step-by-step recovery plan to put that inspiration and motivation into action.” —Lisa Smith, bestselling author of Girl Walks Out of a Bar
“Jesse uses his inspiring personal story to provide a method of transformational change that will be of benefit to anyone, at any point, on a journey of recovery.

Inspiring and Lifesaving Roadmap to Recovery
This is an easy read and a must have for anyone in recovery, family members of a person who needs recovery, or people working in the field of recovery. This book is packed with the hard-earned wisdom, practices, and mindset that Jesse used to reclaim his life and live his purpose which is to help others transform their lives. His passion, authenticity and straight from the heart candor shine through every word. I am a person in long-term recovery since 1997. Much of what he shares is what I stumbled on over the past 24 years. His practices WORK and produce the miracle of transformation. I met Jesse in the middle of the pandemic, in a ZOOM. He was our facilitator. I was not looking forward to yet another ZOOM, but it turned out to be the most inspiring, interactive learning experiences I have ever attended. And I am a trainer so that is quite a feat! I walked away from that ZOOM with Jesse more hopeful – more elevated – more inspired than I had felt in months. When this book came out, I knew I had to buy it – read it -and share it with others and I’m so grateful I did. His words, passion, and willingness to share his experiences will grab you and guide you in a process that he used to reclaim life – live on purpose – and not just survive – but THRIVE in this journey we call life. Thank you, Jesse Harless for living your purpose!
