Reconsidering

CHAPTER

Book Review - Unclinching

This is just the book of advice that i needed to hear, and an exploration of issues that I needed to grapple with. Not everything is going to be perfect, even if you try to make it perfect. It's about seeing that a certain situation is so unavoidable and so baked in to the situation that there's a liberation because you don't have to fight it any more. If some people have too much to do, but other people have found the technique that enables them to do everything, then that's high pressure,. You got to figure out how you can find new untapped reserves of self discipline and the rest of it.
