📖 The 25th Hour

“Here is a book with a life-changing message: we spend too much time managing the wrong things. . . ."

^{—Kamini Lane, President & CEO, Coldwell Banker Realty}

In The 25th Hour, Neal Schore reveals how our emotional reactions quietly eat away not just at our time but also at our energy.

Our problem is…

• the unproductive worrying

• the anxiety that blooms and spirals

• the decisions we make based on fear

• the obsession over other people’s actions and behaviors

All those complicated emotional dynamics that we so rarely address.
More than anything else, we get in our own way.

This book offer a simple, practical approach to addressing what really costs us so much time and energy: our uncontrolled emotional responses.

1/ The one question you should always ask yourself: “Why is this person telling or asking me this? What’s their real intent?”

2/ When life isn’t going as you’d hoped: How to reset after a distracting or tough experience has left you in a miasma of self doubt.

3/ How to reach new levels of achievement and efficiency: Fire your fears, break with your automatic responses, and fight back against imposture syndrome (with creative tools that will make you smile as you put them to work).

This book reminded me that simple concepts practiced regularly—like Schore’s “What’s the Intent?”—can have a huge impact.

If you’re like me and have a tendency to get in your own way, check out this book.
