We introduce a book that's new to both of our bookshelves: Gary John Bishop's "Un-F-Yourself: Get Out of Your Head and Into Your Life." Unlike previous episodes where at least one of us had read the book before, we're both diving into this one together, exploring its no-nonsense approach to personal development.

• "Un-F-Yourself" offers a wake-up call about how we often block our own progress
• The book's main premise: you are the problem standing in your own way
• Contrasting with stoic philosophy from "The Obstacle is the Way," this book takes a more direct approach
• Sam shares how taking imperfect action with her Substack newsletter led to growth and development
• We discuss how many of us have dreams we don't act on, from writing books to other personal goals
• The importance of messy action over perfect planning
• This book speaks to those feeling resigned or defeated about their circumstances
• We'll explore the book chapter by chapter in upcoming episodes
