“This is the most useless book you will ever read”.
?That’s what Ankur Warikoo says on the first page of the book “The Epic Shit”.
In my opinion, He is Right!
If you follow Ankur Warikoo on all the social media platforms, you already know everything written in this book- Do Epic Shit.?
He keeps sharing those learnings, experiences, and advice everywhere.?
That’s why it will be of no use if you already consume his content religiously.?
And even if you don’t, I will cover everything this book talks about.?
Hence, Don’t waste your money buying it.?
When Jo is here, why go book fare? (Bad one, haha!)
Let’s get started.?
The book "DO EPIC SHIT" starts with some great learnings we should always remember.?
A year from now, you will wish you had started today. Then start today.
We have just one life, Why live with just one identity?
Whatever you are feeling today will fade away.
Finding a mentor is a? journey everyone should embark upon.
The biggest roadblock to learning is ego.
If you often worry about what people think of you, you will end up doing what people want you to do.
Fighting a stereotype is a great way to get attention.
This one is my favorite from this book.?
You don’t find your passion, you grow your passion. (BOOM)
After this, the author 'Ankur Warikoo' talks about Mistakes he made in his 20s and 30s.
This is not something I will waste your time repeating.?
Because the end goal was to tell us that he is The Ankur Warikoo because of the choices, he made in his life.?
Also, it is completely OK to make mistakes and learn.?
Then the next thing he focused on in his book is the importance of Habits.?
HABITS BUILD US, GOALS LAY US BARREN.
Not exaggerating, Build habits if you want to be a horse of a long race.?
?
The next thing is awareness.?
For this, read the exact words from the book.
?
"Each time someone asks me what would my advice be, to my 20-year-old self, I have one answer: ‘Make sure decisions in your life are made from a point of view of awareness and not ignorance.’ Everything I do online is to help people make better choices through making them more aware. That’s what I tell my team as well. We aren’t creating content. We are creating awareness which helps people make better decisions. Hope my takes on awareness in the succeeding pages will help you get there".
Let’s just skip Next, Next, it might be irritating. Right?
4. Entrepreneurship is not a profession, it’s a state of mind.
5. Saving money is important-is a lie.
6. Holding a grudge against someone requires a lot of effort.?
?Think of all the wasted time spent being mad at someone.?
We are not the average of the five people we spent the most life with.?
We are the average of the five thoughts we spent the most time with.
And those thoughts needn’t come from people in our life.?
Our thoughts come from people we follow on social media, books, podcasts, and anything we consume.?
We aren’t with people anymore.?
We are with ideas, thoughts, and identities.?
Pick wisely.?
I have covered just 15% of this book “Do Epic Shit”.?
And you are already flooded with great learnings.?
Do you still think this is the most useless book you will ever read?
Stay tuned for my next book summary!
That's enough for today.
