  Book Contents 內容簡介

According to studies 92 percent of New Year s resolutions fail You ve practically got a better shot at getting into Juilliard to become a ballerina than you do at finishing your goals

For years I thought my problem was that I didn t try hard enough So I started getting up earlier I drank enough energy drinks to kill a horse I hired a life coach and ate more superfoods Nothing worked although I did develop a pretty nice eyelid tremor from all the caffeine It was like my eye was waving at you very very quickly

Then while leading a thirty day online course to help people work on their goals I learned something surprising The most effective exercises were not those that pushed people to work harder The ones that got people to the finish line did just the opposite they took the pressure off

Why Because the sneakiest obstacle to meeting your goals is not laziness but perfectionism We re our own worst critics and if it looks like we re not going to do something right we prefer not to do it at all That s why we re most likely to quit on day two the day after perfect when our results almost always underper form our aspirations

The strategies in this book are counterintuitive and might feel like cheating But they re based on studies conducted by a university researcher with hundreds of participants You might not guess that having more fun eliminating your secret rules and choosing something to bomb intentionally works But the data says otherwise People who have fun are 43 percent more successful Imagine if your diet guitar playing or small business was 43 percent more suc cessful just by following a few simple principles

If you re tired of being a chronic starter and want to become a consistent finisher you have two options You can continue to beat yourself up and try harder since this time that will work Or you can give yourself the gift of done
