Built from Broken Revised & Expanded Edition: Now Published by Authors Equity

Since publishing Built from Broken in June 2021, I’ve connected with thousands of readers who have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles.

Those who accomplished the most mind-blowing transformations — overcoming years of accumulated injuries and dysfunction — were always the ones who took the study of the Built from Broken (BFB) principles seriously.

They approached it not as a prescriptive exercise program to simply follow, but as a textbook of fundamentals to master.

Still, after reading hundreds of reviews and messages from readers, it became clear that there was an opportunity to provide even more clarity — and a more direct path to implementing the principles outlined in the book, regardless of fitness level or experience.

Publishing Partnership with Authors Equity

I had already begun the process of assembling reader feedback and drafting edits when I received a message from James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, about the prospect of republishing Built from Broken through the publishing company he helped found, Authors Equity.

I’ve always taken great pride in what we’ve accomplished through self-publishing — building a bestselling, award-winning book and a movement without the backing of a major publisher, or the restrictive editorial control that often comes with one.

But when the world’s bestselling nonfiction author reaches out, it makes sense to listen.

From my first conversation with James and the team at Authors Equity, it was clear that they were the ideal partner — not just because of their proven publishing expertise, but because of their author-centered approach, transparency, and focus on long-term impact and collaboration.

They also brought the operational horsepower to professionalize the book, helping me implement hundreds of updates based on thousands of reader data points, and expand distribution to a wider market — including specialty bookstores like Barnes & Noble and national retailers.

What's New in the Revised & Expanded Edition of Built from Broken

That’s why I decided to rewrite Built from Broken from start to finish.

You'll notice several key improvements in this Revised & Expanded Edition:

1. A brand-new Foundations Program.  A simple, daily routine for building balance, stability, and core strength, designed especially for those new to fitness or returning from injury.

   
   

2. Streamlined training programs. Updated exercise descriptions, revised programming, and a complete appendix that lists exercise locations for quick reference.

   
   

3. Clearer guidance. Expanded explanations of the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain management, exercise tempo (movement speed), and consistency across exercise naming, plus additional advice for less common joint issues.

   
   

4. Refined writing throughout. Clearer, more readable technical sections — without sacrificing the depth or accuracy of the science.

   
   

5. Improved printing quality. Featuring soft-touch matte lamination for a smooth, non-glossy feel, a lay-flat binding that’s easier to use during workouts, and a trim size better suited for gym bags and bookshelves.

Supplemental Tools and Free Resources

We’ve also created a series of supplemental tools to help you apply the concepts from the book faster and more effectively, including a video library of exercise demonstrations — all available for free at BFB-book.com.

Whether you’re brand new to Built from Broken or you’ve already read the first edition, I believe there’s tremendous value in this Revised and Expanded Edition.

It’s the culmination of years of feedback, refinement, and research — designed to help you not just recover from injuries and pain, but come back stronger.
