Ratings and reviews

For me, this book was a game changer. Instead of diving into techniques of how to be productive (e.g. Breaking a big task into smaller, more manageable chunks), the author has you face your underlying fears that may be holding you back. In my case, this was where I needed to be and it really spoke to me. I come back to this book about once a year to refresh and renew.

Changed my life. It was the right book at the right time about 2 years ago. Marked up the physical copy and need a refresh so I’m going with the audiobook.

Lots of great tips and strategies to implement not only in work but in daily life.
