Succeed: How We Can Reach Our Goals by Heidi Grant Halvorson Phd

3.0

Good book, far from "You can do everything if you just believe in yourself and follow these three steps". The author uses scientific evidence to show what makes people more successful and what less.
It seems a lot more realistic than other books.

This book gives you tools to start and continue working on goals like studying better, spending more time with friends/family, dealing with finance, working "harder", or change habits. But it also explains how to take breaks, when to quit, and other tips for improving mental health.

I did not like that a major focus was on dieting and losing weight, as I don't think that is a goal that can be reached by determination and right planning, and I found the language triggering for people dealing with disordered eating behaviors.

Had to read it for school.
