This book is about how to complete your “big thing” which might be writing a book, producing a musical, or setting up a non-profit organization. For Phyllis Korkki, her big thing was writing this book. The result is part memoir and part how-to, as she describes her process from inception to completion.
You can tell that the author (a newspaper reporter) loves to research, so the story is enriched with interviews and anecdotes about procrastination and productivity. One of the most interesting parts was at the beginning of the process, when she decides to seek help with her posture and breathing to increase her productivity and reduce stress on her body. Her tone is funny and self-deprecating, as she examines her own creative blocks and looks for solutions.
If you have a “big thing” that you’d like to accomplish in life, I think you will truly enjoy this book. It will be of particular interest to people who are contemplating writing a book.
