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.

How to break inertia, overthinking, paralysis, sloth, and insecurity.

Take Rapid Action deconstructs the psychology of laziness and why

tomorrow always sounds like a better idea. This book 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.
