About In/Action

IN/ACTION - Rethinking the Path to Results explores the downside of the prevalent cultural bias for action even when it's unnecessary or counter-productive. Capturing insights into the benefits of reflective thinking and strategic inaction, author Jinny Uppal presents a less stressful and more efficient way of achieving more by "doing" less. The more ambitious and goal-oriented we are, the more we chase action to achieve desired outcomes, leading to fatigue, burnout, and mistakes. This book offers a counter-intuitive but masterful framework to leveraging thoughtful inaction as a choice to develop clarity in decision-making, leading to remarkable results. In this book, you will: learn from stories and insights from author Jinny Uppal's extensive business/life experience and interviews with over 30 successful global professionals; develop a framework on how to leverage reflective thinking and strategic inaction as a choice for better results; discover the role that thoughtful inactivity plays in driving creative thinking and progress through established research. This book is not about slowing down as an end goal or a productivity hack to getting more done in the day. IN/ACTION provides a way to achieve whatever we want without paying the price of nonstop doing.
