EXCLUSIVE: Jim Murphy, author of the bestselling self-help book Inner Excellence, has signed with UTA for representation in all areas. He’ll also now be represented globally through UTA’s partners at Curtis Brown Group.
Murphy’s Inner Excellence made headlines earlier this month during the NFL playoff game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers, when cameras captured Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown reading it. Within hours, the book went viral, selling over 10,000 copies and becoming a #1 Best Seller on Amazon. Now a #1 New York Times bestseller, as well, the book has skyrocketed to over 130,000 copies sold in a short amount of time.
A comprehensive guide to mental preparation for life’s challenges, Inner Excellence equips readers with techniques and tools to achieve extraordinary performance and fulfillment. The book highlights three powerful virtues designed to help anyone — from professional athletes to everyday individuals — live with purpose and perform at their best.
“Jim is an incredible talent whose work has inspired countless individuals to strive for excellence,” said Jay Sures, Vice Chairman at UTA who will be leading a team of agents across a number of divisions. “With the support of our global partners at Curtis Brown Group, we look forward to growing Jim’s global presence and developing his personal brand across the entertainment landscape. This is an exciting new chapter for Jim and there’s more to come from him in the near future.”
As a performance coach to some of the world’s top athletes, CEOs, and global leaders, Murphy has built a reputation for empowering others to unlock their potential. His latest book, The Best Possible Life, draws on 2,000 years of wisdom and provides actionable insights to help readers cultivate deep contentment, joy, and confidence. It was published this past November.
