The Motivation Myth: How High Achievers Really Set Themselves Up to Win by Jeff Haden
3.0
"What matters is that you consistently work your process and do what you set out to do, each and every day."
-----------
I got a number of good motivational blurbs from this book. It mostly confirmed what I've figured out for myself- building routine and clearly defining goals are the best ways to achieve success. Consistency no matter how you feel about doing something really is the most important thing. I think this could have been 50 pages or less and it would have sufficed. Haden spent a lot of words on stating the same concept in slightly different ways or saying, "but wait, there's more." That felt very infomercial/snake oil salesman coded for me. Overall a decent read.
