Summary:
"Achieve goals you never thought possible.
Achievement
can be learned. Once you learn the techniques, you'll be able to meet
life
's challenges and fulfill
your
goals, Bernard Roth, Academic Director at the Stanford University Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (The "d.school") shows how to apply the remarkable insights that stem from design thinking -- previously used to solve large scale projects -- to help us realize the power for positive change we all have within us. Roth leads us through a series of discussions, stories, recommendations, and exercises designed to help us create a different experience in our lives. We can gain confidence to do what we've always wanted and overcome obstacles that hamper us from reaching our potential, including: Don’t try -- DO; Excuses are self-defeating; Believe you are a doer and achiever and you'll become one; Build resiliency by reinforcing what you do rather than what you accomplish; Learn to ignore distractions that prevent you from achieving
your
goals; Become open to learning from
your
own experience and from those around you. The brain is complex and is always working with our egos to sabotage our best intentions. But we can be mindful; we can create habits that make our lives better"--Provided by publisher.
