Overview***BUSINESS BOOK AWARDS 2022 SHORTLISTED TITLE*** Struggling? You're in the right place. In a world that's obsessed with fast hacks, quick wins, and Instagram-perfection (cue ""Everything is Awesome"") struggle has become a taboo. A sign that something's gone horribly wrong. But what if we've got it all wrong about getting it wrong? What if struggle isn't a battle to fight, a trap to avoid, or a sign of weakness? What if struggle is precisely where the magic happens - where we do our best, most important work? Whether you're wading in treacle, waiting for the storm to pass or just damn tired of the hustle, this thought-provoking exploration will shine a surprising new light on the truth, beauty and opportunity hidden in life's shittier moments. Author of the award-winning 'How to be Really Productive', Grace Marshall is known for her ""refreshingly human"" approach to productivity. Featured in The Guardian, Forbes, Huffpost and BBC Radio, her work as a Productivity Ninja has taken her from Norway to New York, helping thousands of people - from startup founders to corporate managers, artists to engineers, students and CEOs - to replace stress, overwhelm and frustration with success, sanity and satisfaction.

Table of ContentsThe full content of the book is still evolving, so below are some initial chapter examples within a three part structure. Part 1: Smarter What if we stopped seeing struggle as a battle to fight or a problem to fix? We see opportunity, not obstacle. Stop squeezing and our world expands. Oh shit. What is this shit? Wrong turn, right where the magic is The guy who gets all the complaints That thing that’s irritating you Fight, Flight, or… Unlocking chaos Things we miss when we rage The meaning we make Pay attention Find the treasure Beyond binaries Life, interrupted Small victories Someone else’s shit What about the dog? Objects in the mirror Part 2: Braver What if we stopped seeing struggle as a wrong turn or a trap to avoid? We know we're right where the magic is created. We trust the process. We discover what's beyond the boundaries. The end of the world as we know it Into the unknown Feeling lost Divergent thinking Dead ends, new beginnings Success is not a straight line (heck it’s not even one line) The messy middle Hot water Doldrums The morning after Seasons and cycles A beautiful life The cave you fear The truth about courage Part 3: Stronger What if we stopped seeing struggle as a sign of weakness or failure?

It felt like a conversation with the author, who was honest about her mistakes and struggles and learning from them. I read something recently about mining for the gold in tough situations, and this entire book has helped me think about how to do that and be more at peace with the fact that I struggle at times (even when I don't understand why I'm struggling!) * Amazon * Uplifting and inspiring! Written in short bite size chunks which makes this a really easy read. You'll find yourself underlining, circling & highlighting nuggets as you read & probably want to reread it. Grace's vulnerability shines through which makes this really accessible and real! * Amazon * I have a hard work story; for most of my life I have felt that if something was easy, I'd be looking for the catch. I'd over complicate and my brain would shift into multi-layer thinking ... when actually the simplest option was often the most effective. This is why I was drawn to the title of Struggle. I love how the author embraces the process of struggle and it's made me see that my over-complication tendencies are actually helpful. I don't have to get frustrated because it's important part of my creative process. Without this, I'd be unsatisfied that I've come up with the best outcome. I love how the book has been written in short, easy to read chapters and this will be one that I will come back to time and time again, just to open up on a page and read for a moment or two. Inspiration dripping from every chapter, and the references to personal stories just makes it so relatable. * Amazon * Author InformationAuthor of the award-winning How to be Really Productive, Grace Marshall is known for her ‘refreshingly human’ approach to productivity.
