Reviews

[Patricia Elkin]

Gives practical advise and makes one thing.

[Reinhardt Krätzig · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think it's great how the author deals with the topic and how he gives
very practical and above all understandable instructions on how to get
out of his mental blocks. I am a psychotherapist and see every day the
dominance with which unconscious structures exercise control over a
person, and what discipline and determination is necessary to really
escape it. That is why, in my opinion, this book is suitable for all
people who - regardless of their phase of life - do not get where they
want to go. If you can't get out of your self-boycott with this book,
you can only do it with psychotherapy. Proposal to the author: have it
translated into my language.

In deutsch: Ich finde es großartig, wie der Autor mit der Thematik umgeht und wie er
ganz praktische und vor allem verstehbare Anleitungen dazu gibt, aus
den eigenen Blockierungen herauszukommen. Ich bin Psychotherapeut und sehe
jeden Tag mit welcher Dominanz unbewusste Strukturen die Herrschaft über
eine Person ausüben und welche Disziplin und Entschiedenheit notwendig
ist, um dem wirklich entkommen zu können. Deswegen ist dieses Buch nach
meiner Meinung für alle Menschen geeignet, die – gleich in welchem
Lebensbereich – nicht dort ankommen, wo sie hin wollen. Wer es mit
diesem Buch nicht schafft, aus seinem Selbstboykott herauszukommen,
schafft es nur noch mit Psychotherapie. Vorschlag an den Autor: lassen
Sie es auch in meine Sprache übersetzen.

Not Quite What I Was Hoping For

Despite the fact that this author says that “lazy” is not quite the right word and he is going to unpack it and take a different approach, he comes across as far too blaming and shaming of the reader. I just don't think that that works as a motivational tool. There might be some wisdom nuggets here, but I don't know if it's worth it to slog through the author's negative “you suck” approach.

1.5 rounded down to 1

I received a free copy of this book, but that did not affect my review.

Before start feel confident enough to write a self help book, one should be sure about having basic knowledge on human psychology, trauma and neuro-diversity. Otherwise it would be really easy to write a book that label people who cannot get their life back together as lazy or undisciplined.

This Book Is A Game Changer!

The guidance of this book is deceptively simple. Every time I read a portion, I found a new tactic that I could assimilate.

Nothing ground breaking, but still quite inspiring and motivating.
