About this audiobook
You’ve spent years reading books, listening to podcasts, saving motivational posts, and making to-do lists. You know exactly what you should do: plan better, delegate, use a productivity technique, or “stop procrastinating.” Yet, every evening you feel more like you’ve betrayed the image of yourself you want than you’ve simply wasted time. This book comes from that frustration: not to teach you another trick, but to show you why tricks alone aren’t enough.
