"When it comes to setting and meeting goals, there are handicaps both to seeing "the big picture" and to getting bogged down in the fine details. Balcetis believes we must learn to leverage perceptual illusions-- and to use them to our advantage. She brings to life four visual tactics that successful people use: Narrowing your focus ; Widening the bracket ; Materializing your plan and your progress ; and Controlling your frame of reference. Seeing the possibilities from all perceptions can lead to happier, more productive lives." -- adapted from jacket
