Practical, psychological methods to turn your thoughts into reality, instead of endless avoidance and laziness.
Transform from struggling with getting off your butt, to a machine of productivity and self-discipline. Create an action bias in your life - starting now.
This audiobook tells you how to break inertia, overthinking, paralysis, sloth, and insecurity.
Take Action Like Your Life Depends on It deconstructs the psychology of laziness and why tomorrow always sounds like a better idea. This audiobook is many things at once: a shot of motivation, a spark of fire, an understanding of your brain, and a list of techniques to get into motion.
This is one of the most valuable skills you’ll ever gain, because only action matters in life, not good intentions.
Gain the ability to get things done and hit your goals, no matter the circumstances.
Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills coach. His writing draws from a variety of sources, including scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience.
Stop saying “I’ll do it later/tomorrow…” and overhaul your mindset for productivity and efficiency.
- The Premortem Analysis and the Ostrich Theory - how they can quiet your overthinking.
- How comfortable inaction is sabotaging you.
- Actionable and applicable rules to get started before you feel 100 percent ready.
How to create motion and take the first step from complete stillness.
- How to defeat procrastination by “bundling.”
- Strategically plan your days to prevent laziness and distraction.
- What you think is action, but is actually a waste of time
Become a machine of proactive energy and activity.
Action and results are the only things that matter in the world. Not your planning, intentions, or nice thoughts. This book puts action at the forefront of your brain and makes it nearly impossible to stay still. That’s precisely what will get you ahead in life. Taking that first step is always hard, but it doesn’t have to be.
The more action you take, the luckier you become. Buy this audiobook today!

Every principle is scientifically-driven and dissected to as be actionable and helpful as possible. You'll learn how top performers consistently exercise self-discipline, as well as what drives us on an instinctual, psychological level to act.

Historia
In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.
