Rating: 2 out of 5

Goal Setting: How To Set Goals, Get Goal Motivation And Achieving Goals For Total Success by Luke Kennedy is a 38 page book consisting of 22 chapters. Clearly this book is going to be extremely superficial and will lack both details and specificity. This "Goal Setting" book is yet another in a sea of related books that are more motivational than functional. Do not expect to learn how to actually set goals with this book. While reading this book I got the visual of the late night infomercial guy Tony Little yelling, "You can do it!" This book failed to offer anything new or insightful.One of the better goal setting books that I highly recommend is:How To Set Goals and Keep Themby Scott Kirshner, M.Ed.  This book actually provides a specific method on how to set goals and provides numerous examples of how to actually write down and formulate the goal. It also reviews common reasons why goals fail, motivation, and ways you can get back on track. If you are looking for a goal setting book then get How to Set Goals and Keep Them.Overall Assessment:Goal Setting: How To Set Goals, Get Goal Motivation And Achieving Goals For Total Success by Luke Kennedy is a book that I would skip especially if you are really serious about setting goals. Providing a motivation rah rah rah as this book does will not get you to achieving your goals. There are better options available as previously mentioned.
