Through stories funny, heartfelt, intense, and always engaging, Gable shares more about the life he has lead and what can be learned from those experiences. He goes on to detail what have come to be known as the Gable Trained principles that he follows to keep his life full of ""wins,"" the revelations about how to cultivate success at the highest levels, and the reasons behind these steps for living well.
