Instead of launching into long-winded sermons about discovering your "true" identity, author Jim Cairo poses a few simple questions that set the reader off on an interesting path of introspection. By forcing you to get involved with the book by answering these questions yourself, Cairo is using the principles that he writes about. The exercises he suggests will start building momentum that you can carry right over into your own personal goals. The book falters only in the sections on motivation and change, where Cairo lapses into generic sloganeering about learning from mistakes and embracing change. Regardless, we [. . . ] recommend this book to anyone who feels that they could use a second wind, from a high-school student struggling to remain motivated, to a 55-year-old CEO looking for fresh challenges.

Chock-full of various strategies and tips on how to set the goal and then motivate yourself into attaining the goal, even when said goal seems more unattainable than ever. Well written and easy to follow, Cairo's book's ideas can be applied to all areas of life. It reminds me of Guerilla PR: Wired as both books deal with attaining your goals.

It does not deal with a lot of theory about motivation and how goal setting impacts the motivation. It is a concise guide describing the goal setting process and all that is entailed in having an effective goal setting plan. If you are looking for a detailed, theoretical book on dealing with the psychological components of motivation, this is not the book for you. If you want a practical, easy to understand guide to use goal setting to motivate yourself and others, this IS the book for you. Kevin Sivils Rating: 4 / 5 This book is clear and easy to understand.
