Get Epic Shit Done by Ankur Warikoo

Get Epic Shit Done by Ankur Warikoo

Get Epic Shit Done by Ankur Warikoo is a practical self-help and personal-development book designed around questions that many people repeatedly face in everyday life.

Rather than following the structure of a traditional motivational book, Warikoo presents the material as a conversation between a student and a teacher.

The central idea is simple.

People often have important questions about careers, money, relationships, habits, failure, decision-making and personal growth, but finding direct and practical answers can be difficult.

Warikoo structures Get Epic Shit Done around 36 such life questions, turning the book into a kind of practical reference guide for common personal and professional challenges. Juggernaut describes it as Warikoo’s attempt to create for life the kind of answer book he once used while preparing for examinations.

From Do Epic Shit to Get Epic Shit Done

Warikoo’s earlier bestseller, Do Epic Shit, focused heavily on ideas, reflections and perspectives about life.

Get Epic Shit Done shifts the emphasis toward action.

The publisher summarises the difference very directly: the earlier book was intended to make readers think, while this one aims to help them act.

That makes the book especially relevant to readers who already understand what they want to change but struggle with questions such as:

• Where should I begin?
• How should I make a difficult decision?
• How do I handle failure?
• How can I become more consistent?
• How should I think about money?
• How do I choose a career direction?
• How do I stop comparing myself to others?
• How can I deal with uncertainty?

36 Questions About Everyday Life

The book is organised around questions instead of one long argument.

That structure makes it easy to read in shorter sessions.

Readers can move directly to the subjects most relevant to them or read the book from beginning to end.

The topics broadly cover areas such as:

• Career
• Productivity
• Habits
• Money
• Relationships
• Personal growth
• Success
• Failure
• Decision-making
• Self-awareness
• Goals
• Discipline

The student-and-teacher dialogue format gives the book a conversational feel rather than making it read like a formal textbook.

Taking Action

A major theme is the difference between knowing and doing.

Many people already know that they should:

• Exercise regularly
• Save money
• Build useful skills
• Reduce distractions
• Have difficult conversations
• Start important work
• Take responsibility
• Make better decisions

Yet knowledge does not automatically lead to action.

Warikoo’s focus is on helping readers examine the beliefs and habits that keep them from acting.

The book therefore fits particularly well into categories such as:

Self-Help / Personal Development / Productivity / Career Growth

Careers and Decisions

Career decisions are another important area.

Warikoo’s own background includes entrepreneurship, leadership, digital content creation, investing and education.

Google Books notes that he previously founded nearbuy.com, served as CEO from 2015 to 2019 and had earlier led Groupon’s India business.

That professional background influences many of his observations about careers and choices.

The book encourages readers to think beyond simply choosing the safest or most conventional path.

Instead, it raises questions about:

• Personal strengths
• Skills
• Experimentation
• Learning
• Risk
• Opportunity
• Long-term direction

The advice reflects Warikoo’s personal philosophy and experience rather than a universal career formula.

Money and Personal Finance

Money also appears among the areas addressed in the book.

Google Books categorises the title under Business & Economics, Careers, Personal Finance, and Self-Help / Personal Growth / Success.

Warikoo frequently encourages readers to think about financial choices in terms of:

• Delayed gratification
• Spending
• Saving
• Long-term thinking
• Financial independence
• Decision-making

These ideas are educational and motivational in nature.

They should not be treated as personalised financial advice.

Habits and Consistency

Another recurring theme is consistency.

Motivation often feels powerful at the beginning of a project.

But motivation changes.

Good habits and repeatable systems can help people continue when enthusiasm disappears.

Readers who enjoy books about:

• Discipline
• Habit building
• Productivity
• Focus
• Long-term improvement

may therefore find this book particularly useful.

Failure and Success

Warikoo also discusses the way people interpret success and failure.

Failure is often treated as a permanent judgment.

The book instead encourages readers to see setbacks as information.

A failed attempt can reveal:

• What did not work
• Which assumptions were wrong
• Which skills need improvement
• Whether a different strategy is necessary
• Whether the original goal still matters

This perspective connects closely with entrepreneurship, where uncertainty and experimentation are common.

Written as a Conversation

One of the book’s most distinctive features is its dialogue structure.

The student asks questions.

The teacher responds.

This allows difficult subjects to be broken into relatively short and approachable discussions.

For readers who find dense self-help books difficult to complete, this format may make the material easier to engage with.

It also makes the book suitable for reading in short sessions rather than requiring long uninterrupted chapters.

Practical Rather Than Academic

Get Epic Shit Done should be described as a practical self-help book rather than an academic psychology or behavioural-science text.

Warikoo draws heavily from:

• Personal experience
• Entrepreneurship
• Career lessons
• Observation
• Mentoring
• Personal philosophy

Readers can use the ideas for reflection and experimentation, but they should not be presented as universally proven psychological outcomes.

That distinction is particularly important for accurate product descriptions.
