Discover goals you didn't even know you had!

Would you listen to Goal Setting again? Why?

I think so. There are some gems in this book!

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I really like the Goal Setting exercises. I discovered a few goals I didn't on a conscious level know I wanted to achieve. Hey! I was impressed with that which gave me new focus as well.

Any additional comments?

I like all the reminders of what positive self talk can do for you!!!

Solid, consise review of effective goal setting

Any additional comments?

There's nothing new in this book, but it's a well-organized summary of best practices for setting appropriate goals and achieving them. There's also a useful workbook on the authors site that you download for additional help. I liked the short length, sometimes I feel that authors pad out and repeat information just to make the book longer, but this got to the point. The biggest weakness I saw is the lack of pointers to others' work who may have covered some of the newer or more novel ideas first or in more detail. Would have been nice to give credit to those who did that work and it would give listeners ideas of where to look for more information if they want to explore that idea in more depth, for example, the deliberate practice section. The material itself was maybe just shy of 4 stars in my view, but appropriate length and excellent narration pushed it up to 4.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

TARGET AUDIENCE: This is not a basic book on Goals, but an advanced, well researched book on how to truly make effective goals that will make a meaningful difference in your life. I have read enough books on goal setting to see that this book is for the individual who is truly ready for change.

CONTENT: Although this book contains the basic, well known introduction to setting goals including SMART goals, it goes far beyond that teaching SMARTER goals and DUMB goals. (I particularly liked the DUMB goals. All of us have been taught how to make goals, and forget them. This book talks about making meaningful goals which will actually make a difference. It is very well researched, and based on sound principles.

NARRATOR: Wonderful narration. Smooth and easy to follow.

OVERALL: I plan on downloading the accompanying material from the author’s website and teaching it to some of my clients. I highly recommend this book.

Informative, well-written, and motivational

This was a really good book, filled with lots of good advice for making and achieving goals. I think my favorite bit of advice, paraphrased, was that you should think of your goals and think each day what you could do to that day to bring yourself closer to achieving that goal, then do it. Because that is what goal achievement is: doing something each day to bring yourself closer to the end goal. I got a lot out of this book, and it was perfect for reading right before the new year. It is short (about two hours), but well-written so that you can get a lot of information out of it. I listened to the Audible audio edition narrated by Meral Matthews, and I really liked his narration. His voice is very clear and he reads at a good speed. If you are interested in really achieving your goals, this is a great little book to get you motivated.

some good info

Overall an OK book. some good info & many quotes & techniques from famous speakers. narration was bland & uneventful

A must read

Absolutely loved it!!! Everyone should read this at least once in there life if not more.

Solid information and motivation for goal setting

This is a good book and quick to read and still get a lot out of. My favorites by the author are Master Your Focus and Master Your Motivation. I’ve listened to each multiple times and Master Your Focus has definitely changed my life for the better!

I Love this authors Work, Mastering Focus

I was disappointed with this one. This book is a collection of quips from other authors, mostly Jim Rohn.

Must read....

A must read for the vision board creater or goal achiever. Short 4 hour listen that gets your gears in your head movin to start reaching for the stars! The author is clear, direct and easy to understand message/concepts. Great for the New Year!

Great goal-setting book

Lots of aha moments! Well-written.

Meral Mathews did a great job narrating.
