No Pain, No Gaines: The Good Stuff Doesn't Come Easy Hardcover – March 16, 2021
Purchase options and add-ons
A New York Times bestseller! In a world that feels increasingly disconnected, it’s time to reclaim a life of rich, authentic connection—because we are all made better when we trust one another and work together.
In his most vulnerable book to date, Chip Gaines opens up about his lifelong pursuit of building relationships with people from all walks of life. Chip emphasizes the importance of seeing people for who they are and not for what they can do for you, enabling you to build a strong community and a life of meaning, joy, and connection.
How does it happen? By being intentional about choosing the company you keep. Chip explains the value of seeking out people who are electrified by living according to their purpose, who will stand beside you as you tackle new challenges, and who bet on each other instead of the status quo. The key is being true to yourself, figuring out what you want to do with your life, and finding people who will lift you up along the way.
No Pain, No Gaines will open your eyes to valuable lessons, including how to:
- Find the risks worth taking
- Value what you bring to the table
- Resist the status quo
- Look outside yourself and your circle and foster connections with others
- Get comfortable with being uncomfortably kind
- Live life fully awake, not asleep at the wheel
A good life doesn't always come easy, but that's because the good stuff never does. It requires faith in people. It requires faith in yourself. It requires hope. And it requires a willingness to grow even when it hurts. In No Pain, No Gaines, through hard-won lessons and personal stories all told with his trademark blend of wit and wisdom, Chip Gaines will coach you on how to make your life rich and your relationships run deep.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2022Have been at a point in life where I have been on autopilot and searching. My wife had downloaded and came across, couldn't have asked for better timing. Enjoyed simple, relatable topics coming from Chip. Feel a lot better and a bit more purpose. Good read.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023Practical advice and excellent storytelling
- Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2023I got this as a gift for my husbands birthday. He really likes it, says it is well written and funny.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2022Although I can't promise this book will change your life, it will definitely motivate you to re-evaluate your life so far. Every chapter was useful and the way everything flows together kept me reading. Highly recommend!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021Looking for information on branching out and exploring new avenues? This is a book for you. I really enjoyed Capital Gaines and I found this to be an educational "gain". Networking is an important part of relationships. It gave me quite a bit of information to contemplate.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2021was not sure what I was getting when I bought the book. I like their shows so I thought what the heck. I have since bought 4 more copies (Amazon has a limit on the number you can buy). I gave a copy to each of my sons and plan to give the other two to friends. great job of writing.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021A very thought provoking book to not be satisfied with the status quo. That you should not be afraid to step outside your comfort zone and that you have a God given gift that no one else has. What you do in this life matters, you might not see the ripple effects, but there will be ripple effects that trickle down and set other people on fire to follow their passion.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023Great price and delivery was right on time!
