If you read my About page, you’ll see that one of my goals is to help you transition from the things you’d like to do, to actually doing them.
As the page reads, “to help you go from intention to implementation.”
In today’s featured book, author James Fell desires to help you do the same, but by showing it’s possible to skip the hard part and go directly from intention to committed action. Say what?!
This new book, out today, is called The Holy Sh!t Moment: How Lasting Change Can Happen in an Instant.
James says significant life change doesn’t often come from just putting one foot in front of the other, carefully observing and altering habits, slogging through baby steps toward new behavior.
No! The research, he says, reveals that serious life turnaround usually happens in a moment, with a flash of inspiration. Epiphany arrives like a lightning strike, rapidly shifting the recipient of such enlightenment onto a new path that creates a better life.
