Kevin Brown really lays out how critical thinking and building better habits actually work, especially the science behind habit formation – that part really made things click for me. It’s not just talk; it's actionable stuff you can start using right away. And James Jackson’s narration is just superb, clear and engaging, making it a pleasure to listen to. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re just bumping along and want to get a proper handle on your decisions and growth, I’d say give this a listen.

I’m constantly stuck between overplanning and avoiding things altogether; beating myself up for not being 'perfect', then putting things off because I’m scared I’ll mess up. It’s kind of ironic: chasing perfection while procrastinating. Two traits that really don’t play well together. It’s frustrating and exhausting. And while this audiobook was nowhere near 'fixing' me, it helped me step back and actually see how my thought patterns were tripping me up. The sections on decision-making and mental clarity were especially helpful. If you get in your own way a lot (like I do), this is worth listening to.
