"[T]his one simple concept is a masterclass on positive psychology, healthy relationships, mental well-being, and high-performance. Everything that psychologists know about how to create a high-functioning and successful person can be achieved using The GAP and the GAIN."- Dr. Benjamin Hardy
Most people, especially highly ambitious people, are unhappy because of how they measure their progress. We all have an "ideal," a moving target that is always out of reach. When we measure ourselves against that ideal, we're in "the GAP." However, when we measure ourselves against our previous selves, we're in "the GAIN."
That is where the GAP and the GAIN concept comes in. It was developed by legendary entrepreneur coach Dan Sullivan and is based on his work with tens of thousands of successful entrepreneurs. When Dan's coaching clients periodically take stock of all that they've accomplished-both personally and professionally-they are often shocked at how much they have actually achieved. They weren't able to appreciate their progress because no matter how much they were getting done, they were usually measuring themselves against their ideals or goals.
In this book you will learn that measuring your current self vs. your former self has enormous psychological benefits. And that's really the key to this deceptively simple yet multi-layered concept that will have you feeling good, feeling grateful, and feeling like you are making progress even when times are tough, which will in turn bolster motivation, confidence, and future success.
If you're finding that happiness eludes you no matter how much you've achieved, then learning this easy mindset shift will set you on a life-changing path to greater fulfillment and success.

这周通勤路上的audiobook。Benjamin Hardy是要成为鸡汤写作的王者吗?但他的写作真的还蛮流畅,同是鸡汤,别的就咽不太下去。演讲风格我也蛮喜欢,可能因为语速快,表达也清晰畅快,是我想成为的那种人。只比我大三岁,人家已经有六个娃,且给别人指导人生了......

悲催与幸福只关乎视角。所有人来时两手空空,从未拥有,去时也两手空空,什么也带不走。你得到的,不过是这或长或短的一生的经历。从你的经历中感受喜悦。感受得到。这便是幸福。

原来过去是可以改造的,看你如何定义它。第一章的理论真的让人很心动,原来并不需要那么多不健康的“痴迷”和“需要”,也可以实现很多东西
