Success Stories
Thank you for sharing your personal success story with the 7-Hour School Week! Please post your results on this page, with your name, age, and location, as well as 3-5 sentences on your specific result (hours saved, money made, reading speed increased, distractions decreased, and other life changes). I will post selected stories on health, profession, education, relationship, and travel each month.
The success of any book, or business, is not just in the numbers sold, but in the lives changed.
My voice will go with you…
It’s not just in the pages of this book. It’s in the spirit of your heart.
It’s not in the insights you gained with me. It’s in the innovations you made within you.
It’s not just in the changes you created for yourself. It’s in the dreams you realized for the world, the whole world.

Life-Changing Stories
“Before I met Andrew, I was already a top student blogger, producer, and leader. I had three majors in Japan’s top private university, a prestigious career, and countless extra-curricular activities. Yet, despite all my outward success, I felt stressed, insecure, and empty. Andrew transformed my life…
Now, I am happy, confident, and relaxed. I connected with my inner and deeper purpose in this world. I stopped caring so much about just being busy and producing results. Instead, I started to focus on being productive by doing more with less, and, most importantly, enjoying the experience of everything I did.
Since high school, I had won national Japanese speech awards, nation cooking competitions, and international business competitions. Yet, I never felt so much joy and pride in my life, and in myself, as I do now. I spend less money, energy, and time, and I get much more than I ever did before.
Now, I had raised sponsorship money to travel around the world in sixty days, for free! I’m able to make this dream come true because I searched within the inner world first. I’m the me I always wanted to be.
Thank you, Andrew.
Sometimes, I feel like you’re the only hope in this world.”
-Haruka Ito, Keio University Triple Major, Top Student Blogger, Author, Speaker, Producer
“To say that Andrew has been through it all is an understatement. He’s truly one of the most genuine people you’ll ever meet, and that is why he’s successful. He’s really out to empower people by passing on his knowledge and experiences. I went to college with Andrew and he’s taught me so much about health and fitness. The difference between him and others who I’ve taken advice from is that his advice is the only advice that actually made sense and worked for me. My transition towards a healthier lifestyle started in college, and a lot of it had to do with what Andrew taught me about health and fitness. Andrew is literally the only person who I take health advice from without a grain of salt. He sees through all the gimmicks, knows exactly what he’s talking about, and presents to you the facts. The fact is, there really is nobody else like him.”
-Ricky Phung, UCSD and Fudan University Alumni
“Out of a room of over 400 people, on the day he was supposed to get a nerve transplant surgery at Stanford for an atrophied shoulder that over 30 doctors had said would never come back, Andrew found me at Tony Robbins UPW. He had no idea who I was or what I did. He just knew that somehow, someway, he would come back from that supposedly impossible injury.
His physical damages were severe, with his neck, spine, and rib completely twisted. He had to be amazingly strong to even function with the amount of scar tissue and pain he had. Together, we undid 19 months of atrophy and years of damage. He had to learn how to walk again, how to move again, and how to live again.
Losing your martial arts dreams, relearning your body, and overcoming the injuries would have been tough for anyone. I thought he should stop school for a year so he can focus on healing his body. Yet, he was so determined to achieve everything, from classes, clubs, careers, relationships, businesses, and everything else he did in the last year of school…while overcoming what everyone had said would be an impossible feat.
If he had done nothing else in the last year but just healing his body, that would have been impressive enough already. Now, he is on his way back to competing, stronger and wiser than ever. People who can lose everything they ever worked for in life and still come back are truly extraordinary.
Andrew is the perfect producer, marketer, and trainer to spread our message to the world so that we can end the pains and costs muscular-skeletal disorders that are largely preventable and treatable. He is living proof that anything, absolutely anything, is possible with the right mind, the right tools, and the right actions.”

What People Are Saying
“Andrew has always impressed me with his ability to score very well on tests that he seemingly has prepared very little for. For a certain class, on the last day before the exam, Andrew came out to ’study’ with our study group for the first time in the quarter. He took out his yoga mat to stretch and participate as we asked each other questions, but fell asleep 20 minutes into it! When our test results came back, our grades ranged from decent to average, but to our surprise Andrew got an A+, with 20 minutes of studying. With a short amount of studying and almost no class attendance, Andrew’s always done exceptionally well. It would have greatly benefited me if Andrew had written this program when we were still classmates together!”
-Jonathan Yang, UCSD Department of Engineering Graduate
“You’re the most impressive person I’ve ever met. You know Timothy Ferriss of 4 Hour Workweek? He reminds me of you.”
- Mountain Evans, Cal Poly ‘08
“I am impressed by how quickly, effectively, and efficiently Andrew produced results in this high-tech field. Andrew adapted and mastered a new, complicated industry in just two weeks, without any supervision or hand-held training. I would have never believed any college graduates could deliver such results, especially one whose background is not even in technology!”
-Albert Chiang, GM of TeleSynergy Research Inc., a global leader in IP telephony
“I had no idea a young man can experience so much. I can see your motivation and passion, please keep this and don’t stop.”
-Sean Chen, CEO and Co-Founder, Goosean Media Inc.
“You got to believe in yourself, and you got to believe this is what you are meant to be doing. And from everything I have seen, this is what you are supposed to be doing. I know you got a lot of talent, a lot of skill, and a lot of drive, and those are the foremost things that separate the men from the boys. There’re a lot of guys out there that are real good, but they don’t have the mental strength or the composure to deal well when bad things happen. If you didn’t have self-doubt sometimes in your career, if you didn’t have lack of motivation, and if you didn’t have questions, it won’t be what it is, man. This is a tough sport, grappling, fighting, there’re a lot of challenges. I know it’s tough. And I also know you’re a tough guy. What you’re going through, is what all champions have to go through.”
-Andy Wang, BJJ Black Belt and Champion
