About the author
Ankur Warikoo
Ankur Warikoo approaches self-development as a matter of examining everyday decisions and turning large ambitions into repeatable actions. Drawing on personal and entrepreneurial experience, he writes in a short, direct, conversational style about the ways habits, money, work, relationships, failure, and self-awareness affect people’s choices. Rather than advancing a single theory, he favors discrete lessons and practical prompts that encourage readers to examine their assumptions and take responsibility for their actions. Do Epic Shit establishes this wide-ranging approach through reflections on achievement, finances, and personal attitudes, while Get Epic Shit Done uses a student-teacher dialogue to focus more closely on procrastination, useful systems, and steady progress.
