walks of life have found it useful and thought provoking originally i expected the title to be just a metaphor i was delighted to learn that the book is in fact a short guide to fighting a hydra using metaphor makes it much easier to have a clear view of reality the way josh tells the story is great it starts with a picture of a world not quite like your own but very much parallel and then slowly the two worlds merge by the time you put the book down a feeling of possibility is unavoidable joey cofone ceo of baron fig baronfig com from start to finish how to fight a hydra felt like my brain on loudspeaker this book is a map for venturing risking and living how i know i must it s not easy but i ll take the risk the reward is finding out who i am i just took one of the biggest risks i ve ever taken in my work this book came at the perfect time i m ready to quest to find the hydra and defeat anything that gets in the way even if it s me ishita gupta ishitagupta com as i read how to fight a

tossed into a blender and combined to create a beautiful and insightful story about the quest any adventurer faces james clear author of atomic habits and writer at jamesclear com i devoured how to fight a hydra in one non stop sitting and think of it often we all have callings to do what is hard some are big and scary like starting a new business some are small and scary like following up with a prospect we don t know well our brains bias towards the downside and focus on what can go wrong if we listen to that we ll never begin how to fight a hydra is my rallying cry to remember this when i m scared of something i have to pay attention to it then i have to begin mo bunnell author of the snowball system how to win more business and turn clients into raving fans how to fight a hydra is a reminder of what it means to live a meaningful life too many of us get paralyzed when confronted with our own hydras and retreat into the comfort of what everyone else is doing and while the challenges are different for all of us the approach of tilting the odds in our favor remains the same intelligent preparation and an adaptive approach the nuance is that the popular wisdom of facing your fears even with the odds in your favor doesn t guarantee success however refusing to face them ensures you haven t fully explored what it means to live a meaningful life shane parrish founder of farnam street fs blog i just dove headfirst into an ambitious art project and i didn t know anything about what i was doing it was one of the hardest projects of my life because i was learning so much from the very beginning and took so many wrong turns after reading how to fight a hydra i went back and journaled every decision and mistake i remember making it s easy to get discouraged about things that don t come naturally to me and this book helped me remember that i have experienced this situation before and that i can rise to the challenge christian genco independent software developer gen co how to fight a hydra is an excellent book for students going through their doctoral process particularly those in the dissertation phase i m giving a copy to each of my advisees this book is a perfect fit for their doctoral adventure dr david a mckelfresh executive director of assessment and research and co director of the higher education leadership doctoral program colorado state university how to fight a hydra awakens the warrior in you so you can fully tackle whatever you have on your plate it s far too easy to just think about what you want to do and your mind makes you feel as though you are halfway done when in reality you are still at the starting line contemplation helps but it never finishes things only action does vincent touquet i love what josh was able to unlock with this metaphor i saw a lot of parallels to the experiences that amy hoy and i witness our entrepreneurship students go through and why many people never get started at all i m impressed by how much was packed into this from many fields of study that i care about and have personally used for my own work finding each one was like a little treasure hunt of its own alex hillman founder of indy hall co creator of the 30x500 entrepreneurship course 30x500 com no matter how much i grow in my career i always have to wrestle with what my lizard brain is telling me that i don t deserve something or i don t want to push myself or i m unsure what s going to happen after i release something or take on a new client or do anything new in my business as i m writing this i m on the final edit of my 5th book before it goes to the printer i have been working on it for five years and i am petrified i m terrified about what people will think of it of me after it s launched i m terrified of what i ll become after it s launched i m on the final head of the hydra and i have no idea what kind of treasure is going to be behind it if there is anything at all the fear never goes away and you constantly have to manage it how to fight a hydra is great for shedding light on this essential topic and giving you the sense that you are not alone in your struggles nick disabato founder of draft draft nu i was a tenured faculty member with a funded research program and a steady stream of phd students when my hydra made its appearance a senior role in university administration was i really ready to take on a multi faceted complex position for which i had no experience and no training did i want that level of responsibility after days of confusion and discussion with my family i decided to take the position face my fears and confront the beast the academic complex of a major u s research university i fought this hydra for almost 10 years and i look back on this term as one of the most productive of my career but after 10 years i was ready for new challenges should i pursue the university president positions asking me to apply should i seek a position in business it wasn t easy to walk away from the allure of status and greater responsibility but after considering what i wanted for myself and my family that s the path i chose i returned to the faculty created an
