Description

Are you tired of being so half-hearted?

 

You stop halfway through books and your studies.

You can’t put all of your heart into your work.

You’ve had no real achievements or results.

You can’t really be serious about anything.

You can’t follow things through.

 

This book will break you free from such a vicious cycle and teach you how to become a person who starts, follows through, and enjoys real results, regardless of your personality type or currently low motivation level.

One characteristic of people who work hard to reach their goals is something the author calls “big action.” The only way to make a real change is to take a lot of action. The secret to this is outside help, or the ability to utilize the strength of others, available systems, the environment you’re in, and other relevant information.

 

Those who do this get the best results. But that’s just the beginning. Outside help consists of much more than what is mentioned here.

 

It also includes your thoughts, feelings, and body. Actually, these are three things that you can’t completely control. You can’t stop yourself from thinking about things. You may be able to keep yourself from sleeping for a little while, but not for long. And sometimes, you can’t help but feel sad.

 

Author Toyokazu Tsuruta is a behavioral psychology consultant who incorporates his own experiences with half-heartedness and struggling to motivate himself, providing clear explanations for how to get moving and find your inner genius.

From the editor "Catty"

 

This book turned into something different from what was originally planned. During one of our various meetings, Toyokazu Tsuruta told me that he has people in his life who are inconvenienced by their half-heartedness. We decided on the book’s theme at that moment. This book explains that outside help is needed to take a lot of action towards moving away from half-heartedness. Learn how to recognize these outside factors and to utilize your thoughts, feelings, and body!
