Everyone knows that in order to get anything done, you have to set goals, right?
But wait. What does it really mean to set a goal?
P. Shaun Barbour, PhD, believes that setting a goal actually takes some serious introspection, consideration, and hard work. In A Conscious Effort, his engaging and meaningful guide to bringing about true and lasting change in your life, he gives you the tools to actually succeed at setting goals-and then meeting them.
By dissecting desires and breaking them down into their components, Barbour helps readers get to the bedrock level of their motivations-the place from which to draw the strength and purpose needed to succeed.
For example, Barbour believes that it's not enough to know that you want to look better; he believes that you also need to know what it means to you to "look better" and why that's what you want. Only then can you come up with a plan to achieve your specific objective.
Wise, insightful, and highly readable, A Conscious Effort will equip you to figure out exactly who and what you want to become-and then empower you to become that very person.
