Am I alone in my belief that goals are just a fad? Like Atkins Diet? |
You are not alone. I just read great book about this topic: Overachievement by John Eliot, Ph.D.
In it you can find a small paragraph
"Setting goals is for couch potatoes. The long-standing practice of goal setting is actually a major obstacle to sustained, vigorous motivation - and to being great"
It's a really good book and I highly recommend it.
You can get it on amazon.com
