I put this book off for wayyyy too long. I started reading this in January, while reading other fictional books. But today I decided to sit down and finally finish it. And I'm happy I did.

This book is a great tool for getting out of a procrastination slump. I wrote notes on each chapter, and there were many things that resonated with me. Each chapter had something meaningful to say. This book goes over creativity, being present, being authentic, productivity, positivity, consistency, being relentless, kindness, being decisive and grateful, being uncomfortable and sober, discipline, patience, self-awareness, and focus. It goes over pretty much everything you need to be a productive and confident individual as you go after your goals, and being persistent with it.

This is definitely something I've been needing to read for a long time. After I finished college, I know what I've wanted to do, but procrastinating in my goals has been a huge obstacle for me. I'm the only one stopping me from me, and this book helps you by giving you tips on getting back up and being relentless with who you want to be and what you want to do in your life. Furthermore, you can always reread certain chapters when you're feeling low. This book is a huge motivator for me to be the best version of myself.

Overall, a really great read. And that's saying something, because I've never really liked nonfiction or self help books, but this is definitely a book I've needed to read for a long time. Now I feel like I'm going to actually build up a healthy mindset when it comes to my goals and aspirations.
