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.

About the Author

Chip Gaines is the co-owner and cofounder of Magnolia and a New York Times bestselling author of The Magnolia Story and Capital Gaines: Smart Things I Learned Doing Stupid Stuff. He is constantly reinventing the wheel on what we can achieve together and is always eager to give back to individuals and communities.

Born in Albuquerque and raised in Dallas, Chip later graduated from Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business with a marketing degree. An entrepreneur by nature, Chip has started a number of small businesses and has remodeled hundreds of homes in the Waco area.

But more than any good adventure or hard-working demo day, Chip loves an early morning on the farm and a slow day spent with Jo and their five kids.

Classic Chip!
I was a huge fan of Fixer Upper and of Chip and Joanna Gaines. I enjoyed watching their sweet family on tv each week renovating older homes to back to greatness.I was excited when I was offered the opportunity to listen and review Chip Gaines’ newest book, No Pain, No Gaines: The Good Stuff Doesn’t Come Easy. Chip is such a high energy, positive person and that’s very clear throughout this book. The main theory is not about networking, but building a network that can support you through life’s trials and tribulations. If you have a solid support network, they can help you bounce back from whatever may have happened. This could be your romantic partner, your parents, your boss or colleagues, family friends or acquaintances.I really liked this book. Chip has it filled with humor and solid advice as well as hysterical anecdotes and heartfelt stories. I especially love his friend who encouraged him to run a marathon and the stories of his jeep that constantly overheated.

    Have 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.

    was 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.

    A 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.
