Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book: Practical Tools and Exercises to Give You a Kick in the Pants by Shaa Wasmund

2.0

I picked this book up as an impulse buy as it was on sale which maybe wasn't the best idea. The book focuses on helping people who have a specific dream they want to accomplish (like starting a business) and giving them the motivation to start. One of the reasons this book didn't work for me is probably because I'm not the target audience- I don't have a specific dream or 'itch' as the author put it. But I hoped this book would be useful in giving general motivational advice. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I thought this book was all over the place- it wasn't structured in a particularly logical order-quickly moving on from one idea to another- and these ideas didn't necessarily relate to each other. It was full of quotes and anecdotes but lacking in actual content. It gave general wide sweeping advice- mostly taking ideas from other books- but didn't give many practical tips (save the obvious ones) on how to carry out the advice. I would recommend getting a specific self help book on motivation, or procrastination or whatever your issue is rather than using this book which is a mish mash of everything but nothing in detail.
