If you've followed Michael Hyatt's work, you've heard much of this before. But importantly, it bears repeating.
Un bon livre pour apprendre à recadrer son esprit, ses attentes, ce que l'on veut vraiment accomplir et distinguer des objectifs atteignables (pour lesquels on est prêt à travailler) des rêves (que l'on pense atteindre sans jamais rien faire). Une bonne aide pour définir des objectifs clairs pour une année, après une bonne étude de ses forces, faiblesses dans les différents domaines de notre vie.
“Because our expectations shape what we believe is possible, they shape our perceptions and actions. That means they also shape the outcomes. And that means they shape our reality.”
For me, this was a good book that read fairly easily and had some good reminders for me about goal-setting. Was it revolutionary? No. If you are familiar with self-help literature, this is just another organized view into concepts you will already be familiar with. Is it a well-organized and motivational presentation of those ideas? Absolutely. This is a good “kick in the pants” or “where do I start” read, but don't expect it to revolutionize your worldview.
My favorite bits/takeaways:
- concept of a military After Action Review, and how that can be implemented
- distinction between Achievement Goals and Habit Goals. How to consider them differently.
- Recommendations for managing a collection of goals - # of goals, # of concurrent goals, review process
Excellent book! Highly recommended.
I read this after attending Michael Hyatt's Your Best Year Ever, Live conference in early January. It's a great resource for getting yourself to maximize your efficiency to accomplish what is really important to you. It goes into depth about goal setting. Daily evaluation of how you are spending your time. Keeping you focused on those goals.
This is a super choice to read starting right now, as the new year is just around the corner. I'm going to put this on my re-read regularly list.
