How To Set SMART Goals - The Ultimate Guide To Creating The Life You Want (The Road To Happiness) by Matt Morris is a book that I looked forward to reading. I have used the S.M.A.R.T method for years and am very familiar with the process. While Morris explains all of the components he only provides one example of a goal using the S.M.A.R.T method. I found this to be very short sighted and limiting. Also, there was a lot of other information discussed that is really ancillary to the S.M.A.R.T method. While this information is important it took away from the main theme of the book. I think that providing more examples of the S.M.A.R.T method would have been much more helpful for readers who are new to this system. For me the information was good but I found the writing style to be too hokey like I was listening to a late night infomercial. I can just see Tony Little jumping around with his pony tail saying, "You can do it."Overall Assessment:How To Set SMART Goals - The Ultimate Guide To Creating The Life You Want (The Road To Happiness) by Matt Morris has good information but it is lacking on providing different examples of the S.M.A.R.T method. The book would be more effective if the focus was heavier on S.M.A.R.T. I also did not like that Morris broke each component of S.M.A.R.T into a separate chapter. I think it would be more effective to have kept it in one chapter instead of breaking them out.This is a good but basic primer on using S.M.A.R.T goals.
