Goal Setting: Proven Steps to Achieve Your Wildest Dreams in The Shortest Time by Dwayne Brown consists of six very short chapters.  This book is more of a motivational, feel good, you can do it type of book rather than outlining a specific method of goal setting.  There is a lot of talk about goals but very little concrete information on the process of goal setting and no examples of written goals were provided.  Additionally, the writing style, while not terrible, was not very polished.I have read a lot of books on goal setting and find more often than not they talk about goals but don't provide specific advice for writing goals. A book that I highly recommend which actually shows you a step-by-step process of goal setting along with numerous examples of written goals is:How To Set Goals and Keep Themby Scott Kirshner, M.Ed. This is about the best goal setting book that I have found that is very focused and to the point without getting into the deep psychology of goals and motivation. This book also talks about why goals fail and how to get back on track. The author also has a goal setting book for students which is excellent. It isGoal Setting for Scholars: Creating a Successful Life.
