How to Fall in Love with the Process of Becoming Great

Chop Wood Carry Water

Ivaylo Durmonski

Chop Wood Carry Water is one of those rare books you won’t find in the best-of reading lists. Few people will talk about it and even fewer will actually realize that such gem exists. That’s why I’m so pleased I’ve found it.

Though some times the writing sounds just too cliche-ish, the information inside Chop Wood Carry Water can help you go through some hard times and keep you moving forward. Keep you working towards your goals despite the current setbacks.

It’s mainly a book for people who are trying to build something long-lasting. Something that’s beyond one year of completion.

Some of the tips inside aren’t groundbreaking, yes. But they will definitely help you in the process of becoming great. In times when things are hard, when you struggle, and when you want to quit.

My personal takeaway: Stop dreaming about doing out-of-this-world work. Success lies in doing simple things over a long period of time. Learn to chop wood, carry water. Success will eventually come.
