Summary of this book can understood with one simple example
EXAMPLE: There is small fly trapped inside room. It is burning out all its energy to go through glass of the windowpane. It is impossible for the fly to try hard enough to succeed at breaking through glass. Across the room ,ten steps away, the door is open. Why doesn't the fly try another approach, something dramatically different? Trying harder is not necessarily the solution to achieving more.
The author introduces the term "Quantum Leap," emphasizing that we shouldn’t settle for incremental improvements; instead, we can achieve significant jumps in personal performance that propel us beyond the next logical step. To facilitate this leap, it's essential to ignore conventional approaches—if you find yourself trying to climb over a wall, consider simply opening the door and walking through. Additionally, thinking beyond what common sense would typically allow is crucial; aiming for a 10% or 20% improvement is not the goal, as that only reflects incremental gains.
A key mindset is to suspend disbelief—if you must doubt something, let it be your limits. Furthermore, seeking failure can be beneficial; it serves as a resource that helps you explore the boundaries of your capabilities. Expect discomfort, as uneasiness is a predictable psychological reaction when you’re on the verge of making a quantum leap in productivity.
It's also important to open your gifts—reflect on the skills and talents you've developed over the years, recognizing them as valuable assets that you've nurtured and enjoyed. Fall in love with something remarkable and special that ignites your passion; this connection is essential for motivation. Finally, don't wait until you feel fully ready to make your move. Often, you’ll discover that you know more than you realize once you begin your journey.
