Why haven't I planted the tree?

Right?

You just don't do it.

You have all the plans.

You have all the structural things lined up and you don't do it.

Why?

Well, that's almost always some sort of emotional or mental process gone wrong, right?

We are not robots.

So the first half of the book kind of covers all that.

The second half of the book are about things that I would say are mindsets that make change more meaningful,

easier to do and are actually valuable in and of themselves.

So an example would be self-compassion.
