You Can Just Do Things is essential reading for anyone who wants to be part of that grand project.' Eric Ries, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Lean Startup 'Building something new is hard. But it doesn't have to be miserable. In You Can Just Do Things, Cate Hall lays out principles for navigating uncertainty, learning from failure, and staying resilient without burning out. It's refreshing to read a book so ambitious and humane at the same time.

Brooks, Harvard professor and #1 New York Times bestselling author 'Without realising it, many of us are living within a prison of our own making – one whose bars are made of delusional assumptions about what is and isn't possible. You Can Just Do Things is a prison break instruction manual – a wildly empowering how-to guide for getting out of your own way so you can realise your true potential.’ Tim Urban, bestselling author of What's Our Problem?
