Is it a self help book without mentioning diets for weight loss? Either way, I’ll be nurturing my fixed mindset persona to growth minded.

The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months by Brian P. Moran

Authors bring up weight loss as an example - raging fatphobes. Very White Men. It made me uncomfortable. If only they took their own advice and stayed focused to relevant business examples to illustrate their exercises. What I will take away from this is their actual framework. I’ll get back again if it actually works. They have a field guide book, hopefully that’s a lot more concise and focused.
