THE BIG THING How to Complete Your Creative Project Even If You're a Lazy, Self-Doubting Procrastinator like Me

Long-term creative projects and career goals are often tied up with personal issues that give them an unmanageable tension, says Korkki, a NEW YORK TIMES journalist who writes with candor and psychological sophistication. Narrator Sandy Rustin, narrating with youthful intonation and conversational cadences, mirrors the author's vulnerability without diminishing the validity of her insights and experience. Referencing her own struggles to get busy working on her "big thing" (this book), Korkki unpacks every possible attitude and personal practice that can get in the way of progress, including fear of failure, crippling self-doubt, and sometimes fear of success. More than any other audiobook on this type of procrastination, this one brings these dilemmas down to earth in a way that will give listeners new freedom to choose--and more energy to move forward with their lives.
