Hell Week: Seven Days to Be Your Best Self by Erik Bertrand Larssen
3.0
Conflicted. I really like the idea of doing a Hell Week - one week in which you rise at 5, go to bed at 10, work out for an hour each day, no tv, no social media, eat healthy and tackle as much work as you can, preferably the stuff that scares you or has been on your to-do list forever.
You're even supposed to work through the night on Thursday night, and the work all of Friday as well. I'm less enthusiastic about that. But the idea is good! A crazy schedule to gain momentum, I like that.
I feel conflicted about the book, though. It tries to do too much, tries to give your whole life an overhaul in that one week. It's full of Getting Things Done and 7 Habits of Highly Effective People quotes, plus lots of habit building popular science. Not bad, I guess, but might have been better for me if he had stuck to an intense, tough guy Navy SEAL approach.
Might do a hell week anyway... In a few weeks. Just to see what happens.
