A STRAIGHTFORWARD GUIDE TO GETTING UNSTUCK
Readers from around the world have drawn inspiration from
Brookins' bestselling book, Rise, How a House Built a Family, where
she chronicled her unconventional idea to build a 3500 square foot house from
the ground up by watching how-to videos. Now in Unstuck, she reveals her proven
strategy for getting unstuck for good, maintaining motivation, and living up to
your greatest potential.
Taking the next step in your life can feel daunting whether it's the first step of a
massive new project or the first step on a tough Tuesday morning. Your
procrastination isn't a character flaw or laziness. Your brain is wired to
avoid risks (or in the case of a new project, first steps). Unstuck
gives you a proven system to work with your brain to actually do the work.
Brookins cutting-edge research combines ancient principles and modern neuroscience to
show how anyone can leverage the science of how-to videos to generate endless
motivation. With true stories from ordinary people around the world who
achieved extraordinary things, Unstuck entertains, inspires, and teaches the
science and psychology of getting things done against all odds. From the man who
carved through a mountain to the eight-year old who drove himself on an
important mission to the woman who had a billion-dollar idea and the man who
electrified a remote village, humans have proven time and time again that no
obstacle or disadvantage is too big.
Whether you're a team looking to break records, an organization dreaming of massive
growth, a leader aspiring to change the world, or an individual reaching for a
goal that everyone said is impossible, Unstuck gives you the tools - and the
motivation - to overcome procrastination and reshape the way you think about
productivity.
