Jon Acuff

Spent years in marketing and wrote a satirical blog about American church culture before moving into books about work and self-improvement.

Soundtracks is the useful one: overthinking treated as a set of repeated internal recordings that can be identified, tested for truth and deliberately replaced, rather than as a personality flaw.

Acuff writes short chapters with jokes and is candid that he is a communicator rather than a researcher, though Soundtracks was built alongside a study run with a university. Finish deals specifically with the point where people abandon a goal, which is usually the day after a perfect day.
