From Inc.com's most popular columnist, a counterintuitive--but highly practical--guide to finding and maintaining the motivation to achieve great things.
It's comforting to imagine that superstars in their fields were just born better equipped than the rest of us. When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through.
But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. "Motivation" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a result of process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal.
Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past—and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams.
Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month.
Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.

干货太少太少,大部分内容都是车轱辘话来回说,且不够有说服力,写作水平也一言难尽。通篇核心思想就是motivation来自阶段性的成果,整体流程就是设立目标和执行方案-做好记录以便及时调整-不断获得阶段性的成功,最终带来一个正向循环。

鸡汤学大杂烩。if you want to be different, you need to act differently; write down your goal, the forget about it completely - focus on the process instead.

前面几章还行,后面废话过多,看到翻白眼。不需要那么多括号和乱七八糟的例子,这大哥写书怎么比人家写博客还随意(攥紧不耐烦的拳头)

明确目标,根据目标定下计划,确定process,改进process到核心需求,然后每日精进即可。 动力来源是可见的进步与成功,而不是别人给你励志。

典型的美式畅销书的写法,零星几点论点,能够扩展成一本书. 没有什么独特性的观点,价值极低。 前篇是鸡汤,后面是跑题的鸡汤,恶心。

本书核心:1. 动力来自于成就感,成就感来自于“开始做这件事”,二者相互驱动,螺旋式推进。2. 正确的拆分目标并关注过程,能帮助更好的坚持和获得成就感,而不是想办法走捷径。但我自己觉得问题在于,如何能constantly get rewarded而不是陷入重复枯燥的routine? 夏日鸡汤,读读无妨。
