Sam Bennett

I started off reading this slowly as the book features short chapters that have a 15 minute experiment and a challenge at the end. I very shortly found that I wanted to just keep reading to capture Sam's words of wisdom. I got a big a-ha when she suggested one of the reasons for procrastination is that you are bored. That was exactly what was going on with me.

She also shares more personal stories in this one than in her previous books. She developed long-Covid and it really gave her more show more space to be philosophical in this one. It's still immensely practical but I enjoyed the chapter where she talked about what she found useful in Stoic philosophy. It is definitely a book that deals with the realities of our post-pandemic world. Highly recommend. show less

I'm biased because I've worked with Sam and have done the course this is based on but what a fantastic book for getting started on any endeavour. Laid out in short chapters so you can flip to whatever you need help on as well as follow from start to finish, Sam lays out how to work your inner game to create outer results. So if you have that project you just can't seem to start, or just feel like you're floundering, check this book out.

I found the first portion of the enlightening. The ending portion seemed more like refinements. The book dragged on a bit instead of picking up steam.
