Brain Gremlins: An Anti-Motivation Guide to Finishing Anything When Your Brain Has Other Plans
Your brain is a liar. A charming, lazy, excuse-making liar and it’s been sabotaging you for years.
“Brain Gremlins” is not another self-help book about discipline, hustle, or waking up at 4 a.m. It’s a brutally honest, wildly funny guide to understanding why you keep getting in your own way, and how to finally stop. Written for anyone who’s ever procrastinated themselves into a panic, set fifty goals and finished none, or wondered why their best ideas die in the driveway, this book is part roast, part roadmap, and all reality check.
With hilarious metaphors, painfully relatable stories, and zero fluff, Benjamin Frazier and Jessica Ipina rip the mask off the invisible forces — fear, perfectionism, self-sabotage, impulsivity, distraction, overthinking — that derail your motivation and convince you that you’re “just lazy.” You’re not. Your gremlins are loud, clever, and persistent, but they’re not unbeatable.
You’ll learn how
- Outsmart the mental traps that make you stall, scroll, and self-sabotage.
- Break exhausting cycles of false starts, overplanning, and premature celebration.
- Rewrite the internal stories that keep you from finishing anything.
- Build momentum even when motivation is nowhere to be found.
Equal parts science, sarcasm, and chaos, “Brain Gremlins” isn’t here to fix you, it’s here to help you *understand* you. And once you see how your brain really works, you’ll never let it stop you again.
If you’re tired of watching your potential rot on a to-do list, this book is your wake-up call, and it’s way more fun than another lecture about “grit.”
