This book has a wealth of information and strategies here to help improve your ability to make solid decisions while keeping a positive, upbeat attitude. I am always amazed at how often I wind up sabotaging my goals through negative behaviors, primarily procrastination. And now I have a name for it. I'm a "Waffler", frequently paralyzed by the idea of having to make a final decision. It's why my house never gets painted, why I have the same living room furniture I've disliked for the last six years, and why I can never never NEVER decide between the Audi TT or the Nissan Z when it comes to buying a new car. Reading the section on the World of the Procrastinator was like reading a study on my own behavior for the past twenty years. Ouch!Fortunately it does a lot more than call you out on all your bad behaviors. It offers loads of solid solutions and strategies on how to correct your mindset and move forward. Some of them seem, well, a bit silly, but I was surprised at how much they changed my mental outlook when I put them into actual practice. This has really helped me reevaluate my decision making processes and understand what I need to do to finally get things done. The chapter on accepting challenges was a huge eye opener for me as well.I really took a lot away from this book and have made a decision (see what I did there?!?!) to stop being a waffler, stop procrastinating, and take charge of my life. I've verbalized my goals, plotted out how to achieve them, and feel confident I will finally get things accomplished around here.... today and not next month!
