Often in our lives, we all have questions revolving in our minds and want someone to answer them. We look for someone who can help us to make better decisions, to help us navigate through life, and live life happily.

A beautifully written book that you can refer to whenever you want to get an answer to your doubt. written in easy to understand way, and the questions you can easily relate to, the book can be seen as a little life manual. I will say that the answers shared by Warikoo can give you a new perspective to see your life and can inspire you and help you find your own true path.

Overall the Book is an amazing read and I would definitely recommend you give it a read. If DO EPIC SHIT (his first book) made you think, GET EPIC SHIT DONE will definitely make you act.

Check out some of the amazing insights from the book

Here are 7 valuable insights from the book

1. You won’t feel the same tomorrow: The Emotions that we humans go through are not permanent. What we feel today. we will not feel tomorrow. However, what we feel today, can either make us depressed or induce us to take action.

2. The Worst Use of Your Time: The Worst use of your precious time is comparing yourself with others.

3. Ask Difficult Questions: Once you have figured out which decision to take, imagine the worst-case scenario when you make the decision. Before you decide on the answer, ask yourself if you have asked all the difficult questions.

4. The game of guilt: The difference between the successful and the self-critical ones is that the successful ones manage what they could be doing better by taking better actions, instead of playing the game of guilt.

5. The Reading Quest: Reading replaces mindless entertainment with learning and eventually leads to enlightenment. The Quest should not be to read as many books as possible. The Quest should be to absorb as much from them as possible.

6. Get what you want: You will get what you want in your life. when you take the actions in your life, not when you compare your life to someone else’s, and take no action because your heart is filled with envy instead of encouragement.

7. Learn to say NO: You are worried to say no because you care what people may think of you. The reality is, a lot of us are raised in an environment where saying yes is a reflection of capability and saying no is a reflection of lack of intent.

Actionable Advice:

Here are 3 Actions you can start taking from these insights:

1. Stop Comparing: Everyone is unique and have their own strength and weaknesses. Stop comparing your life with others, and start working on your own self.

2. Take Actions: Instead of feeling guilty about not achieving success in your life, start taking action. Get yourself to work. Dream big and take action to fulfill them.

3. Say No: Start saying No to the toxic people in your life, to unhealthy food, to people distracting you from your goals. Learn to say NO.
