Goal Set Your Way to Achieving Your Dreams: A Practical Guide to Goal Setting

Rating:
Summary: What a great book!
Review: I had read similar books about topics like goal setting, etc. in the past without much success in actually using the techniques described by the authors. What makes this book different, and what has made such a change in my life, is that the author gives practical, everyday, workable advice on how to set goals and achieve them. The day I finished reading this book I sat down to start writing my own goals, like the author suggests. I have seen noticable improvement in my life because of this book and I can't stress enough how much of a positive change this book and the strategies in it have taught me. Goal Set Your Way to Achieving Your Dreams gave me the road map that I needed to follow to start making changes. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to make a better life for themselves.

Summary: Great book on goal setting
Review: I really enjoyed this book because I had always set goals for myself and tried New Year's Resolutions but I never stuck with them. This book takes the reader step by step through the goal setting process. As the author points out, most other books mention that setting goals is very important, but never tell you how to do it. This book was short and to the point. There was no fluff or fillers. The authors writes about common excuses for why people don't set or stick with goals and ten reasons why goal setting fails for most people. I saw myself in several of those reasons. The author developed a system on goal setting, so if you just follow the book, you can't help but set a goal. The book also has several sample goals, so you can see how the finished product would look. I highly recommend this book if you are serious about setting goals. When I finished the book, I gave it right to my wife and we sat down that Saturday night to start setting and achieving goals for our life.
