The Flinch

In his book, The Flinch, Julien Smith explores the concept of the 'flinch', a natural reaction to fear or discomfort. He suggests that this instinctive response often holds us back from achieving our full potential.

Smith encourages readers to face their fears head-on. He believes that by consciously choosing to 'flinch forward' into discomfort, we can break free from our limitations and grow both personally and professionally.

The Flinch teaches us that discomfort isn't always a bad thing. In fact, it can be a powerful catalyst for change. By embracing discomfort, we can push ourselves to take risks and make bold decisions.

Smith emphasizes the importance of taking action. He argues that it's better to act and make mistakes than to remain stagnant due to fear. By taking action, we can learn, adapt, and ultimately, succeed.

In The Flinch, you'll find that habits play a crucial role in overcoming the flinch. Smith suggests that by developing positive habits, we can train ourselves to react differently to fear and discomfort, leading to personal growth and success.
