Publisher's Summary:

From New York Times best-selling author Jon Acuff, a book for those who want relief from always starting and never being done.

Jon Acuff, sought-after speaker and consultant, is the friend who always gives you great advice. With his self-deprecating humor and charm, he has won over hundreds of thousands of followers who come to him for both encouragement and a kick in the pants. Now, after showing you how to reboot your career in his New York Times best seller Do Over, Acuff shows chronic starters how to actually finish their goals in an age of bottomless distractions and endless opportunities.

Acuff knows the reason why many writers' novels go unfinished - it's the same reason why gyms are filled in the first week of January and empty by the end of the month and why people stop learning a new language once they get past the easy parts. It's not just that people lose momentum or get distracted. People give up on projects when they fail to live up to their own high expectations and decide that if they can't do something perfectly, they won't do it at all. If you're going to finish, you have to kill perfectionism.

Drawing on his popular 30 Days of Hustle course, Acuff teaches listeners to short-circuit perfectionism and make it through to the end of a task. Whether it's by "choosing what to bomb" or "cutting a goal in half", he shows listeners how to move past "the day after perfect", get focused, and - finally - finish.

Members Reviews:

I couldn't finish it!

I couldnt finish it! Ive listened to half of Finish, but couldnt see the point of finishing it through. While I honestly tried and couldnt find but positive reviews for the book, to me, it fell in the common trap of most self improvement books.

A book picks a subject of matter, and then in few hundred pages try to makeup on the point that everything under the sun falls under his topic of focus. Very often blind sided by other important factors. Sort of like when youre holding a hammer, and want to nail everything down regardless.

For Finish, it was Perfectionism. The book kept repeatedly saying perfectionism says..., and then made the claim. First problem is, the author assumes the biggest problem is perfectionism, which means most people are Perfectionists. However most people, including myself, arent perfectionists. Most people are satisfied with average results. Some even mediocre ones. Yet they still struggle to finish. For different reasons.

Not enough motivation

Inability to focus

Enjoy partying and having fun more

Learning new skill is hard, so brain resists it to favor comfort.

Fear of failure: Different than seeking perfectionism, many are happy to be good, but never want to feel failure. It's socially unacceptable in many societies still. It also involves risk factor.

And many other reasons. And while the book might touch on some of these points, it does so by assuming its related to perfectionism most of the time. It does it so often, and under different contexts, that I ended up questioning my understanding of the word perfectionism, I had to lookup the dictionary again for its meaning.
