If I had read this book before Darren Hardy’s, The Compound Effect or James Clear’s Atomic Habits, I may have enjoyed it much more.
Towards the end I felt
that I needed grit to finish it. One thing that I know about myself is that I do
enjoy starting projects, but I don’t always have the grit to finish it, I lose
interest very quickly. But, with that said, it does depend on the project and
challenge I’m faced with.
“...there are no shortcuts to
excellence. Developing real expertise, figuring out really hard problems, it
all takes time―longer than most people imagine....you've got to apply those
skills and produce goods or services that are valuable to people....Grit is
about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay
loyal to it...it's doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying
in love.”
This relates to what James Clear also said, you need to fall in love with boredom, doing the same thing over and over.
Personally I found the the animal experiments horrendous.
Rather read The Compound Effect or Atomic Habits.
3/5
