From Rock Bottom to Redemption: Daniel Gundert’s Baby Gorilla Hits #1 on Amazon

San Diego, California Nov 8, 2025 Entrepreneur and gymnastics visionary Daniel Gundert has reached the coveted #1 Amazon Bestseller spot with his gripping memoir, Baby Gorilla: Addiction, Redemption, & the Road from Rock Bottom to an Eight-Figure Legacy.

Raw, unflinching, and deeply hopeful, Baby Gorilla chronicles Gunderts descent into addiction and the powerful journey of recovery that led him to build an eight-figure business empire and a life devoted to family, purpose, and giving back.

Baby Gorilla was the nickname I shared with my daughter, says Gundert. The night she found me face-down on the living room carpet, that same nickname became a wake-up call. This book is about how that moment led me from rock bottom to redemption.

Once spiraling through overdoses, broken relationships, and self-destruction, Gundert rebuilt his life from the ground up. Today, he stands as the Owner and CEO of Gyminny Kids Gymnastics, one of Southern Californias leading childrens activity centers, serving more than 6,000 students each week across four thriving locations.

Equal parts dark, honest, and inspiring, Baby Gorilla reminds readers that the lowest points in life can become the foundation for greatness. Gunderts transformation from addiction to achievement serves as proof that redemption is possible for anyone willing to take the next step.
