Wow. Just...WOW!!

I believe this is the best inspirational book I've ever read. In fact, I'm getting ready to read it again--immediately--to glean even more from it! My sincere thanks to the talented Bill O'Hanlon. I'll read many more of his books!!

An easy read for those looking to start the search for and pursue a passion, interest, or something that pisses them off!

I found this to be a more succinct version of the book "Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise". Even if you are "lazy" you can obtain mastery. "I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning." If you don't know how to do something learn from others, keep moving forward!

I appreciate the approach of finding what to aim at, how to stumble forward, learn through doing. Getting hard and honest feedback (painful and critical even) and using that to move forward with better aim than before.

There is a refreshing mix of humor and encouragement.

Good for those who need a gentle kick to get started.
