Finish
Give Yourself the Gift of Done
Book • 2017

He identifies perfectionism as the primary barrier to achieving goals and provides counterintuitive strategies to overcome it.

The book offers insights and practical advice on managing perfectionist tendencies, avoiding procrastination, and maintaining a focus on completion rather than perfection.
