Struggling? You’re in the right place.
In a world that’s obsessed with fast hacks, quick wins, and Instagram-perfection (cue “Everything is Awesome”) struggle has become a taboo. A sign that something’s gone horribly wrong. But what if we’ve got it all wrong about getting it wrong?
What if struggle isn’t a battle to fight, a trap to avoid, or a sign of weakness? What if struggle is precisely where the magic happens - where we do our best, most important work?
Whether you’re wading in treacle, waiting for the storm to pass or just damn tired of the hustle, this thought-provoking exploration will shine a surprising new light on the truth, beauty and opportunity hidden in life’s shittier moments.
Author of the award-winning ‘How to be Really Productive’, Grace Marshall is known for her “refreshingly human” approach to productivity. Featured in The Guardian, Forbes, Huffpost and BBC Radio, her work as a Productivity Ninja has taken her from Norway to New York, helping thousands of people - from startup founders to corporate managers, artists to engineers, students and CEOs - to replace stress, overwhelm and frustration with success, sanity and satisfaction.
Uplifting and inspiring! Written in short bite size chunks which makes this a really easy read. You’ll find yourself underlining, circling & highlighting nuggets as you read & probably want to reread it.
Grace’s vulnerability shines through which makes this really accessible and real!
I have a hard work story; for most of my life I have felt that if something was easy, I'd be looking for the catch. I'd over complicate and my brain would shift into multi-layer thinking ... when actually the simplest option was often the most effective. This is why I was drawn to the title of Struggle. I love how the author embraces the process of struggle and it's made me see that my over-complication tendencies are actually helpful. I don't have to get frustrated because it's important part of my creative process. Without this, I'd be unsatisfied that I've come up with the best outcome.
I love how the book has been written in short, easy to read chapters and this will be one that I will come back to time and time again, just to open up on a page and read for a moment or two. Inspiration dripping from every chapter, and the references to personal stories just makes it so relatable.
