Do you know that feeling when someone asks: “What do you want to eat?” and suddenly your brain flattens out, as if you’ve just been asked to dismantle a bomb in five seconds or less? Yes. That.
In these moments we tend to label ourselves as ‘indecisive’. Like we’re broken. Like our inability to choose between sushi or tacos is a deep character flaw that explains why we didn’t complete that project, answer that email, or come up with our entire five-year plan.

But what if… you’re not indecisive at all? What if you are simply indifferent because the decision in front of you doesn’t really matter? This idea comes straight from my book, Glow Up Yourself, and recently Nick Hutchison from BookThinkers took to Instagram and called it one of his biggest mindset shifts from the book.
Nick Hutchison’s favorite concepts from Glow Up Yourself
Nick mentions this part about decision fatigue: “Chelsea makes a sharp distinction between indecision and indifference… I finally have the language to explain it.”
That moment from page 32 is also one of my favorites, because it’s liberating to realize that you’re not slacking, you’re just saving energy for what really matters. I’m honored that this book helps readers (of all genders!) laugh, think, and take action in a way that feels real and lasting.
Once you give yourself permission to not worry about the meaningless things, you free up energy for the things that actually move the needle.
‘Glow Up Yourself’ is for women. But men can get a kick out of it too 😄
When I wrote Glow Up Yourself, I envisioned it as a rallying cry for ambitious, rebellious women ready to step into the next level with confidence, self-empowerment, and emerging energy.
But I’m pleasantly surprised to hear more and more men say, “Hey, this affects me too.”
In Nick’s Instagram post, he shared, “Yes, this book is written for rebellious women, but the advice is powerful for men too. Chelsea’s writing is fun, heartfelt, and downright hilarious.” He even rounded up some of his favorite takeaways in a strike-through carousel, and I couldn’t stop smiling at the caption.
Easy decision: read Glow Up Yourself, today!

Nick’s full caption and thoughts on the book Glow Up Yourself:
“Stop wasting your brainpower on meaningless choices. I just read Glow Up Yourself by Chelsea Clarke (@herpaperroute) and I loved it!!! Yes, this book is written for rebellious women, but the advice is powerful for men too.
Chelsea’s writing is fun, heartfelt, and downright hilarious. It works whether you are 19 or 90, insecure or unprepared. In this carousel, I’ve collected some of my favorite funny moments and life lessons from the first half of the book. Swipe through if you want to laugh, get motivated, and maybe even reframe the way you view your habits and excuses. My favorite takeaway so far comes from page 32.
Chelsea makes a sharp distinction between indecision and indifference. I realized that if I don’t want to choose between a restaurant or a Netflix show, it’s not because I’m indecisive. It’s because the decision is meaningless and not worth my mental energy.
That perspective is liberating and I finally have the language to explain it. If you’re a man looking for a great introduction to personal development for the women in your life, this book makes a fantastic gift. It’s accessible, motivating, and packed with lessons that stick.
This book challenges you, makes you laugh and encourages you to take action. Remember, action is the true measure of intelligence. Action is how you go from insecure and stuck to confident and wealthy.” – Book thinkers.
