Resumen del Editor

Most of us have no idea why we fail to reach our goals. Now eminent social psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson shows us how we can finally win by revealing how goals really work—and by showing us how to avoid what typically goes wrong.

Dr. Heidi Grant Halvorson offers insights that listeners can use immediately, including how to set goals so that they will persist no matter what; build willpower, which can be strengthened like a muscle; and avoid the kind of positive thinking that makes people fail. The strategies outlined in this book will not only help everyone reach their own goals but will also prove invaluable to parents, teachers, coaches, and employers. Dr. Grant Halvorson shows listeners a new approach to problem solving that will change the way they approach their entire lives.

great content!

This book challenges the way we have been thinking. It is clear what needs to change.

Love it!

Heidi has packed this books with research to back what a lot of spritual practices and leadership principles propose. It helps to have science for our left-brain dominated world! Thank you Heidi for this solid work!

awesome must read

incredibly enlightening. you know what the say the teacher appears when the student is ready. for me that was absolutely true.

Better than Good

I can't believe how much info this book packs on goals, motivation to even giving others feedback. May be the best book on goals I have ever read. Narrator is outstanding too!

so so ok

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I've read a lot of these type books and like others its mostly common sense so I would not recommend to a friend unless this was the first book of this type they had ever read.

Interesting and Practical

I found this book to be a good mix of studies and application. The last chapter on feedback was nothing new to me.

So good I bought the print version too!

Some books are so good that you have to buy a hard copy to pass on. This is one of them.

Now That Is a Good Investment In Research

This is truly enlightening. This lines up with what I have learned in the bible. Great Book.

Success... At Last

Finally... A book about goals and success that makes some sense. There' so much nonsense out there. This is without a doubt worth several listens.

Insightful impact.

This book had a tremendous impact on the way I approach and think about a myriad of things. Today at work several of my co-workers and my boss engaged in a discussion on many of the topics in this book. This book is a must read as it has the potential to be life changing because of the way it changes one's thinking.
