Read this book to discover an empowering framework to help you make smart decisions and get the best results."

Learn how inaction may be the best action and procrastination the way to get things done - and have fun in the process."

"Passionate. An inspired call that melds history, biography, and social science together to foster how we might better approach action within ourselves and others."

As someone who has been labeled forever as Type A and action oriented, the very concept that, in many cases, doing nothing wins the day was certainly not top of mind for me. But, I must say that Jinny, in her wonderful book, makes a good case for trying this new (to me) approach. One of my favorite [stories] described a senior business executive who, in face of a serious business crisis, decided to take a walk alone instead of jumping immediately into the fray. The steps he took following the walk were, no doubt, much better than those he might have chosen if he had acted immediately.

..Jinny Uppal writes with crisp, biting economy - with an element of surprise built into the arc of every story she tells. Reads like a novel, teaches like a textbook.

Through research, stories, and unique hand drawn illustrative comics, we come to understand the downsides of unexplored raw drive, and the benefits of coming to understand what will bring us towards a success that makes sense to and serves us. I highly recommend this book to readers who want to explore their own ambitions and the work they are putting into meeting goals.
