In the bestselling tradition of Brene Brown’s Daring Greatly and Nick Vujicic’s Life Without Limits comes a rousing 7-step plan for living a life on fire, filled with hope and possibility—from an inspirational speaker who survived a near-fatal fire at the age of nine and now runs a successful business inspiring people all around the world.

When John O’Leary was nine years old, he was almost killed in a devastating house fire. With burns on one hundred percent of his body, O’Leary mustered an almost unimaginable amount of inner strength just to survive the ordeal. The insights he gained through this experience and the heroes who stepped into his life to help him through the journey—his family, the medical staff, and total strangers—changed his life. Now he is committed to living life to the fullest and inspiring others to do the same.

An incredible and emotionally honest account of triumph over tragedy,
On Fire contains O’Leary’s reflections on being that little boy, the life-giving choices made then, and the resulting lessons he learned. O’Leary very clearly shares that without the right people providing the right guidance, at the right time, he never would have made it through those five months in the hospital, let alone the years that followed as he struggled to regain mobility, embrace his story, and ignite clarity of his life’s purpose.

On Fire encourages us to seize the power to choose our path and transform our lives from mundane to extraordinary. Once we stop thinking solely on the big moments in our lives, we can begin to focus on those smaller opportunities that tend to pass us by. These are the events—the inflection points in our lives—that can determine how we feel about life now, where we are headed in the future, and how many lives we can impact along the way. We can’t always choose the path we walk, but we can choose how we walk it. Empowering, inspiring, remarkably honest, and heartfelt, O’Leary’s strength and incredible spirit shine through on every page.

Editorial Reviews

Review

My company gets the chance to hear from some of the country’s best speakers, and my friend John O’Leary is one of the best we’ve ever had. His incredible story of persistence, passion, and intense focus left a mark on my team that we we're still talking about more than a year later. Don’t miss John’s message—he will change your life! -- Dave Ramsey, New York Times best-selling author and nationally syndicated radio show host

On Fire, by John O’Leary, celebrates the beauty of LIFE! Through courageously sharing his own pain and devastating loss, O’Leary reveals how crucial it is for us to keep moving forward after a setback or trial—still hope, still dream, still see the possibilities before us. Eventually we must all make the choice to truly live or just exist. A magnificent and inspiring read! -- Sean Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and The 6 Most Important Decisions You’ll Ever Make

I can count on one hand the number of books I’ve read that created an urgency to push away my fears and past mistakes to step fully into life. Drawn in by John’s incredible story and conversational writing style, On Fire helped me see life’s trials as steppingstones to an enhanced version of me. John’s powerful truths enabled me to stop seeing what I can’t do and see the opportunities still available. On Fire offers a redemptive invitation to all, leading us to believe that no matter how many times we’ve fall down, no matter how dismal the current situation, the best is yet to come. -- Rachel Macy Stafford, New York Times bestselling author of Hands Free Life

John O’Leary is truly one of the most amazing humans on theplanet. His story will not only inspire you but give you practical ideas forhow to enjoy your life more, appreciate all that you have, and push you toachieve all that you are capable of doing. -- Rory Vaden, Cofounder of Southwestern Consulting and New York Times bestselling author of Take the Stairs

There a rare handful of people in the world whose life story will change you forever. John O'Leary is one of these people. The powerful life lessons in this book will forever inspire you to live, lead and love differently. -- Tommy Spaudling, New York Times bestselling author of The Heart-Led Leader and It’s Not Just Who You Know

John is the embodiment of someone who made a powerful choice to not be defined by his challenges. This book is a reminder to us all that no matter what happens in life, we deserve and are capable of discovering our passion, pursuing our dreams and making a meaningful impact on the world. -- Christine Hassler, author of Expectation Hangover

Fast-paced, emotional and surprisingly funny,
On Fire is an amazing reminder that we might not be able to choose the path we walk in life, but we can always choose the manner in which we walk it. -- Joe Buck, Fox Sports

This is a book about coming alive -- about practicing courage and fully showing up at home, work, and with the people we love. John is a storyteller, change-maker, and cage-rattler. Reading this book is like having a good friend look you square in the eye and say, 'The time to be brave is now.' -- Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Daring Greatly and Rising Strong

If you haven’t heard John O’Leary speak from the platform of a sold out arena, you’re missing out on an incredible message. But you’re in luck! John has put his inspirational and life-changing message into this brilliant book. His story and words of wisdom will not only encourage you, they will ignite a passion to live your life to the fullest. -- Les Parrott, Ph.D. #1 New York Times best-selling author of You're Stronger Than You Think

    Loved the book so much I didn’t want it to end but at the same time wanted to read the ending from his prospective! He Made It so interesting even if it was so tragic! He shares the stories of many who came into his life who made him want to live and to work hard to do movements that seemed even impossible to some who knew him before.”
    What an inspirational story and especially when it progresses after leaving the hospital and how he was able to live a full successful adult life. A read or read to for about any age!
    Looking forward to the movie! Also I just purchased Overwhelming ODDS by his parents Susan & Denny O’Leary!!

    This book captures you and reels you into John O'Leary's life. It definitely helps put things into perspective to help you weed out the unimportant things we stress about daily. Significance vs Success was a big inflection point for me. Read it with an open mind to the fact that you can change small things and live a totally different life than you are living right now. I very much enjoyed this book and got through it in a matter of a few days.

    100% Raw, Authentic, and Real

    John's book reads as if you are sitting across a table with him, listening to him share his stories with you first hand. He speaks with total honesty, vulnerability, and genuine care for you. He wants you to be moved by these stories and he wants you to make the 7 choices to radically inspire you. He wants this to happen to you because he truly lives his words.

    Having met the man at a youth conference where he delivered a riveting speech, I have followed his work ever since. I was ecstatic when I saw his story was being captured in a book and couldn't wait for it to debut. Well friends, this book is not something you want to miss. I shed many tears, of sadness and joy, as I read his stories. I empathized greatly with not only John, but so many of the other heroes of his story. His brother, his sisters, Nurse Roy, Jack Buck, his parents, his therapists, etc.

    I cannot recommend this book greatly enough. It is exactly what you need, no matter what you are going through in life. It will help to give you hope, to upgrade your life, to see things through a new lens, and to want to do it. I am grateful that John found the courage to share his story with me, and the rest of the world. You need to grab this book so you can discover why.

    This book was a great read. Entertaining with invaluable life lessons. John's story is inspirational and puts things into perspective. As a cancer survivor who went through chemotherapy for stage three Hodgkin's as a child, many of John's lessons learned resonated with me. His story is unique, but the ways he handled adversity and grew from that experience are helpful for life's bigger hurdles we face. I can't wait to read In Awe next. Highly recommend this book!
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016
    I'm a friend of John's, and purchased the book both to help him out with sales and because I knew it would be good. But I didn't know it would be WAY beyond good. I mean seriously way beyond good! The word "great" doesn't even quite cover it. For me, this book is in my top 10 list of all times, a book I will read and slowly digest many many times throughout the rest of my life.

    Two other things:

    1. The John in this book is the same John I see at church and school (his kids go to the same school as mine). He is the same man. Perhaps this is one reason why this book meant so much to me. It is real.

    2. I would also recommend purchasing the audio book. It was nice to listen to John for a week or two during my commute.

    That's all I got. I wanted this to be a glowing review, but nothing I write will do this book justice. I think a lot of the other reviewers have done a better job than I have. So you might want to read the other reviews. Even better: just buy the book and/or audible book now.
