Whether it's wanting to impress our bosses, find a loving relationship, straighten out our finances, or take better care of ourselves, we all feel that there is at least one part of our lives that is in real need of improvement. We want to do better, but somehow we fall short and end up feeling like we don't have what it takes to reach our goals. And we could not be more wrong.
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. Grant Halvorson offers insights—many surprising—that listeners can use immediately, including how to:
– Set a goal so that you will persist even in the face of adversity; – Build willpower, which can be strengthened like a muscle; – 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.
Heidi Grant Halvorson, PhD, is a social psychologist, educational consultant, and the recipient of several grants from the National Science Foundation. She is also an expert blogger for Psychology Today and Fast Company. She lives in Easton, Pennsylvania, and New York City with her husband and two children.
Heather Henderson is a voice talent, theater critic, and dramaturg. In addition to narrating audiobooks, she has voiced hundreds of commercial and educational projects, and her arts reviews and poems have appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country. She holds MFA and DFA degrees from the Yale School of Drama. She lives in Oregon.
Reviews
“Once every ten years or so, someone says something original in the area of personal development. Heidi Grant Halvorson is that someone. If you have ever failed at something or are seeking to accomplish something, Succeed is a must read.”
“The most important message of this book is that people can change. It’s not necessarily easy, but it is possible with the right motivation and the right information about how to go about it. The problem has always been, where do we go to get the right information? The solution is at hand; you need only turn the page.”
“Succeed succeeds big time! Rare is a book that is both brilliant and practical, entertaining and rigorous, easy to read and deep. Succeed is such a book. If you want to bolster your level of success and in general lead a happier life, this book is for you!”
“If you have goals, then you should read this book. If you manage others or are in a position to help others achieve their goals, then you have to read this book! It’s filled with fascinating studies revealing the secrets of success. But Heidi Grant Halvorson goes beyond the studies to show us how to apply them and save us years of struggle. This book is a keeper.”
