This book offers a practical and realistic way of getting yourself motivated. It doesn't promise anything magical but rather gives a basic 3 step plan to follow and 20 effective strategies to help you strengthen your motivation and stay on course.The book makes the point, that a lot of "Rah Rah" motivation books miss altogether, about how there are different types of motivation and that in order to achieve anything you need to motivate yourself in a way that is aligned with your values and energy. All kinds of motivation will work but the question that needs to be addressed is "context" In other words "Am I motivating myself in the most powerful and effective way based on the goals I have and who I am"?There are a number of very useful strategies and techniques in this book that are very effective and will help anyone amp up their motivation to the levels they need to be to achieve their goals. One technique in particular in the chapter "Motivation - Getting A Clear Picture" is incredibly powerful and will totally change your life. In my opinion the book is worth getting just for this technique.But this quick and easy to read little book is full of really great tips and techniques (check out the table of contents and you will see what I mean) that are all based on sound common sense. Case in point: I really like how the author advises creating goals and motivation in all areas of your life not just the one that seems most important to you right now. In my experience it's the areas in life you don't pay attention to that can create the most challenges rather than the areas that you do and this is covered nicely with some great examples to help you out.I think this book will be useful to anyone that is struggling to get themselves going and to go the distance. There are a lot of great books out there on the subject of motivation that in my opinion probably overdo things and make the subject of motivation and achieving your goals harder and more complicated than it need be. If you're looking for simple, quick and practical motivational and goal setting strategies you need to check out "How To Be Motivated"
