Summary

Decades of research on achievement suggests people at the top of their game tend to reach their goals because of what they do - not because of who they are. In this short, provocative, and useful HBR Single, motivational psychologist Heidi Grant Halvorson translates the psychological secrets of these winning human beings for your use. Halvorson expands on her immensely popular blog post to give more detail on each of her nine suggested actions - from getting specific about goals and aggressively monitoring your achievements to understanding the importance of having "grit."

By emphasizing what successful people do consistently and effectively, Halvorson provides the path to help you accomplish your goals, once and for all.

Simple but powerful

Must read and reread to remember the simple yet powerful tools. Also helps with quickly assess some of the things you are already doing and to quickly improve. Love it!

Awfully nasally gearing voice

The content is just above average but the reader has one of the most nasal twangy voice which makes the whole experience of trying to listen to this audiobook a uniformly painful one.

Nothing to do with Successful People

This might as well be a short book on how to keep to a diet or quit smoking, no value at all.
