(Book Review) Procrastination Proof: Jon Acuff Had Me Until The Personal Attack.

You almost lost me on page 219, Jon. Technically I think I have to blame your wife and her bullying.

There I was, vibing with everything you had written. Then, out of nowhere, shots fired. The exact phrase, insultingly throw-outable, was “best paired with easy-fit slip in Skechers.”

Whoa whoa whoa. Pump the brakes, Acuff. You can say you weren’t stylish without attacking my favorite purchase over the last year. The jeans were the villain, no need for my shoes to get caught in the crossfire.

My size 12 extra wide Skechers are the best shoe I’ve ever owned. They are comfortable, stylish-enough, and most importantly a key piece of my recovery from foot surgery last year.

So I’m going to let it slide. After all, your previous books and expert wisdom are the main reason I even got in shape enough to lose the weight and make me falsely believe I could just become a sprinter.

Turns out the main takeaway from that above-linked tale is that with a little effort, anyone can hit their out-of-pocket maximum for a high deductible health plan in any given year.

You’d better be glad that I owe a lot of my personal growth and success in parenting, vocation, and just life in general directly to insights I’ve gained in reading and re-reading your books over the years.

Because taking shots at my Skechers is a bridge too far.
