Die empty

Book • 2013
In 'Die Empty', Todd Henry addresses the common issue of putting off important work until tomorrow.

He emphasizes the finite nature of time and resources, encouraging readers to make the most of each day.

The book provides strategies for defining goals, maintaining curiosity, stepping out of comfort zones, and making steady progress on meaningful projects.

Henry's approach is centered on the idea of 'dying empty' – ensuring that one's best work is not left unfulfilled at the end of their life.
