The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win by Jeff Haden - Book Summary - Abbey Beathan

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. )

Motivation is key to achieving your most ambitious goals. Truly understanding this tricky concept and how to make the best use of it is the first step towards success.

It's easy to just lie around and think that the most successful people on the planet got to that point because they are brilliant, more motivated or possess an innate talent you just don't have. However, the truth couldn't be more distant. We often see motivation as an intrinsic characteristic of the human being but actually, motivation is obtained through result of process, not by doing nothing! In The Motivation Myth Jeff Haden dives deep into this subject.

(Note: This summary is wholly written and published by Abbey Beathan. It is not affiliated with the original author in any way)

"Ideas without action aren't ideas. They're regrets. " - Jeff Haden

Success is not meant for a small group of lucky people, it's destined for each individual that takes the time to understand the true nature of motivation and puts it to practice. In this book, you'll do just that, dive deeper into the concept of motivation and the current myth surrounding it. It would be a big step towards achieving your goals, you can only obtain true success through true understanding.

Continuously working on your goals keeps you motivated because the product of your effort makes you keep pushing forward
