Ideas such as temptation-bundling, setting goals based on personal history while not having excessively high or low expectations, missions being worthwhile, and discomfort needing to be tolerated sound helpful.

However, the 70/40 rule looks like it's based on arbitrary thinking. Colin Powell may have had a valid point about having between 40-70% of the info before a decision must be made, except how do you know what equals 70% and 40% when the information total may not be quantifiable?

This Book Seems Systematic and Listenable Weekly.

Well written and easy to follow. Thought provoking challenge when one considers what is holding you back from accomplishing your passion.
A bit difficult to stay focused on the book because the narrator seems slightly apathetic about the content.

Amazing book that didn't drone on or was filled with ego. it lays out steps easily and warns readers of the pitfalls they will encounter. this isn't a book that will tell doing the bare minimum or doing nothing is okay. this book will require the reader to engage with their thought processes and analyze their shortcomings to better themselves.

precise, clear and to the point.
