Surprisingly good
The book started and at first, I was like "Oh no, it's one of those books that tell you what you already know and sings the general motivational songs"
I stucked with it because I have a minimum 20% before jumping ship on books, and I am glad I did.
Absolutely great especially on the aspects of indecision and procrastination. Introduces techniques and actionable examples. Cuts to the chase.
