Publisher Description
Just try harder.
Just work harder. Just do more.
But what happens when working harder doesn’t seem to be getting you better results? You’ve got to get unstuck.
In Getting Unstuck, Bob Sullivan and Hugh Thompson show the different kinds of plateaus that can hold you back and how they can be overcome. Using case studies of both success and failure—including Derek Jeter, Blockbuster, and Google—they identify how to avoid pitfalls and to incorporate the peak behaviors that place breakthroughs within anyone’s grasp. If you’ve ever given more and more to a broken relationship, a weight-loss regimen, or a stalled career—only to get less and less in return—Getting Unstuck will change your life.

Disappointed
I was hoping this book would offer practical insight into—like the title literally says—what causes times of feeling stuck and advice that you can apply to real-world situations.
What I felt I got instead was a few bits of decent “food for thought”, and a whole lot of useless and generic non-sayings such as “Things work, until they don't”, “Take a break”, “Find the mystery ingredient”—which the author then goes on to say you can't actually know a mystery ingredient, only that you'll know when it's missing, and my favorite “Maybe you're already successful and you just don't know it/ aren't giving yourself credit”.
Save your $10 and just Google “Tips for getting unstuck as a [musician, manager, writer, etc.]
