Unfiltered Thoughts on 'Attitude' by Adam Ashton and Adam Jones 📇💫
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In a nutshell, the book covers five areas i.e. vision, change, learning, fear and boldness. Especially, the topic on fear was a really simple but impactful one for me.
Every nugget of thought is acquired from books that the podcasters have come across and of course, I was curious enough to go check out their weekly podcast — “What You Will Learn” with 428 episodes aired as on July 28th.
Let me highlight two of my most favourite quotes from the book:
1. If we don’t take the time to step back, and envision, exactly what we want, unique to who we are, we’re destined to be just another bland and indistinguishable human in the sea of sameness
2. Most importantly, if you are afraid of doing something that is uniquely you, then you must do it. This means entering the arenas that we normally shy away from and making the decisions we try to avoid. This gives you the power to change the direction of life.
•••
I really don’t do four stars and I’ll be honest - it doesn’t explain something that you don’t already know. But in my opinion, the main purpose of the book is not to inform but to inspire, and that is something it has achieved flawlessly. The level of inspiration and the storytelling capabilities portrayed in the book is what makes this read a really good investment of your time. I absolutely loved it and I hope this becomes a great addition to your personal library too! 💫
