[0:00]This one book will help you break through any plateau in business, fitness, learning or life. It's called getting unstuck. And here's what it teaches. Most people stall not because they're lazy, but because what used to work stops working. To break the plateau, you need to flip your system. Here are three power moves from the book. Number one, shock the system. Add randomness like CrossFit does for fitness. Number two, delay gratification. Play the long game. Number three, break the greedy algorithm. Growth isn't always linear, sometimes you need to go backward in order to go forward. Here's an example. Derek Jeter hit a wall in his career. He literally relearned how to walk with weights on his hips and came back to win a gold glove. If you're stuck, don't grind harder. Change the inputs, change the pattern. That's how you beat the plateau.
