I think I would have liked this book more had I not recently taken Ben's Journal Mastery course. Because much of the material is repeated in both this book and the course, I found there was a ton of the book that I could skim over because I already had notes on it from the course.
Regardless, Ben is a great writer and the material is awesome! I've already started implementing a ton of his tips and tactics into my life, and have seen the change. I especially love how much Ben dedicates to his family, especially his children, and found some good tips for a good family lifestyle in this book, as well. Pleasant surprise. :)
I recommend this book for anyone who likes the self-improvement genre. It's a real winner!

This is a fascinating book and had a lot of paradigm shifts for me. I think this is a must read for everyone that has every tried to set a goal and failed.
I’m reading it again, slowly and taking a lot of notes.

Meh. Fundamental principles delivered via label-heavy, derivative methods. Do with your life as you will, via soul power! Book will provide a lightning rod for insightful lively discussion among book clubs. Certain common sense methods always work - remove temptation, time and diet impacters - but really must you pay $25k to "mentors" for entry into an elitist community where you can call others "losers" if they're choosing a different path for their own soul work? Because you feel shame for at one time in your life you engaged in the same activities when you were "lost." Ah, then read Brene Brown to help you accept your shame, heal your soul wounds and move on. Name calling, superiority, feeding your ego are the challenges of humanity. This book flies in the face - and falls - against other more soulful guidance books. Timeless quotes from deep-thinking teachers get twisted in this missive - (paraphrasing Plutarch) yes, you learn to limp living with a lame man... it's called developing empathy for another's life situation/choices, not self-crippling, blame-pointing. Maybe it's your soul's calling to carve your friend a cane rather than limp alongside him because you are blessed with perfectly working legs. Already bought this book? Read it with an open mind, heart, and eyes and help others around you through kindness, compassion, empathy. Go create a schedule where you hold yourself and your "students" accountable in reaching their goals. Then cheer yourself & them on during the journey. Be mindful in your choices. Accept responsibility for those choices, including your environment and genetics - but never allow those choices and elements to define you, limit your dreams. Go write your own book. Hardy did, hooray for him! Now it's your time!

Definitely some useful stuff, but I wanted more nitty gritty really. It was more big picture, which is useful but not quite what I’m hunting for. I think I’m looking for a book that helps me autonomize the everyday life stuff so I can get on with the important stuff. If anyone knows of a book like this please recommend.
Oh and that’s not how lobsters work. I think the author might be thinking of hermit crabs.

Man, this guy can write - this book is both persuasive and encouraging.
The key take away is to outsource your will power to an environment that's conducive to achieving your goals.
My only complaint is that it could have been more of a "how to" book, which would have added even more value.

O título por si só vai contra várias frases de impacto empreendedorismo de palco, despertando um interesse genuíno do tipo: "que porra é essa, lógico que funciona"
E então ele vem e explica mais sobre outros fatores que influenciam o sucesso, realização de metas e objetivos. Coisas que você, em algum momento já deve ter ouvido/lido, mas o autor entrega dicas práticas para você colocar também.
Os capítulos são apresentados de maneira bem organizada, e sempre no final de cada capítulo existe o resumo para você fixar as ideias apresentadas
