Productivity Book Group Author Interview Series is an opportunity to learn about new and interesting productivity books and authors. These shorter podcast interviews will be injected between our normal discussion-format episodes that are published here on Productivity Book Group. I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Grace Marshall, author of Struggle: The Surprising Truth, Beauty and Opportunity Hidden in Life’s Sh*ttier Moments [ https://amzn.to/3gNuCUj ]. Enjoy the interview! The Amazon book description states: 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. Our next reading selections are available on Upcoming Books. Show Notes: (Please listen to understand the context of the resources provided.
