Anatomy of a Breakthrough: How to get unstuck and unlock your potential

Unstuck is a landmark new smart-thinking title that will help anyone optimise their mind to overcome the obstacles holding them back. It does for self-development what Atomic Habits did for with behavioural hacking and Thinking Fast and Slow did for understanding ourselves.Everyone, at some time, will go through episodes of simply being stuck; whether it’s in our careers or relationships, our personal, professional or artistic lives. We call this things like ‘being stuck in a rut’, ‘having writer’s block’ or ‘being frozen in place’. This is not just harmful in the short-term, but is often chronic, dangerous to our mental health and well-being, and with severe consequences to our success and development.Unstuck is the remedy to identifying and overcooking the ‘friction points’ holding us back.

Unstuck then takes us through a 5-step process to strive for more and to thrive.Unstuck is the key for overcoming friction points and reaching our full potential
