review 1: I just read this book, and it is totally relevant if you are setting your goals and want to create good habits,leave the bad ones and get motivated. The book was written by Heidi Grant Halvorson, PhD. The book it’s straight to the point, a fast read (106 pages) but with great quality and content. It gave me some really good insights.On top of that, it comes in a great pocket book format so you can have it nearby when you need some help or to boost your motivation and get back on track.On 9 Things Successful People do Differently (Harvard Business Review Press) , Dr Halvorson explains in a very simple and enjoyable way what these nine things are:1) Get Specific – Dr Halvorson talks about the importance to get specific not just with your goals but also with the obs... moretacles that lie in the way getting there. And explains about the mental contrasting technique.2) Seize the Moment to act on your Goals3) Know Exactly How Far You Have left to Go- On this chapter, Dr Halvorson explores the importance of monitor your progress and seek feedback on a to-date and to-go basis.4) Be a Realistic Optimistic5) Focus on Getting Better, Rather than Being Good6) Have Grit – Grit is the persistence and commitment to long-term goals. This chapter is also about the importance of will power.7) Build Your Willpower Muscle – Here we learn how to develop and train our will power.8) Don’t Temp Fate9) Focus on What You Will Do, Not what You Won’t Do.
review 2: The thing these days is to spend a fair amount of time listing your credentials and referring to them often—except now, you write a really short book, with very short chapters, etc. I suppose if most of your reading happens on blogs and Twitter, this is nice, but, for me, it fails to persuade. If the information in here is actually new to you, I suppose the tight format will help you remember and use it. I find it unlikely much of anything will be new to anyone who has read even one business/self-help/success book before this, however. less
