Story
It is estimated that we make approximately 35,000 decisions every day. Right now, there is at least one decision we can make that will have a powerful ripple effect across all aspects of our life. But One Decision isn't about taking one overwhelming big step; it's about starting with a single, important step that we have the choice to make every day: the decision to be authentic. To be you, and to do so without doubt, without second-guessing, without worry or anxiety.

Story
It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap. In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

skip out on this one
The recurring theme in this book is the author gives anecdotes from their practice and then a little tibit of advice at the end of each chapter. The book is not rooted in evidence and does not provide enough depth or effective strategies on how to help you. Additionally, the 1 star was given audible wouldn't return my credit

okay but not what i was looking for
To be fair i don’t know what i was expecting but this book didn’t hit the mark for me. It’s almost like a guide for a 20 year old with no life experience. Lessons like “don’t take things personally”, etc. Even tho it had real life stories it felt too generic to me. can’t say why. It might resonate with you, it wasn’t awful but wasn’t for me.
