description: In Psychological Foundations of Success , Stephen J. Kraus synthesizes decades of research on success and well-being, creating one of the most sophisticated and entertaining self-improvement books ever written. Along the way, he de-bunks self-help snake oil, unmasks self-improvement urban legends, and explores the "greatest hits" of psychology's most fascinating research. The result is a scientifically valid five step system for personal achievement that anyone can use. 1. The science of clarifying what you really want from life2. The science of turning lofty ambitions into consistent actions3. The science of minimizing FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt)4. The science of drive and determination5. The science of making course corrections in life At each step, the book goes far beyond the common knowledge, cliches and anecdotes found in many self-help books. It explores the uncommon knowledge revealed by cutting edge research on the psychology of success, and provides proven tools for achieving more in each area.
