In Part 1 (Effortless State) you'll take away some lessons on helpful mindset shifts and where you need to be mentally in order to get the most out of this theory. We will be following up this video series with a workshop series in February where you can get some hands-on experience figuring out how to implement these lessons in your real life.

As always, your Student Success Coach reads these books so you can just have the sparknotes, but if you've got the time and want to read the whole book, it's a great choice.
