When a co-worker loses 20 pounds, or a friend runs a marathon while completing a huge project at work, we assume they have more grit, more willpower, more innate talent, and above all, more motivation to see their goals through. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But that's not at actually true, as popular Inc.com columnist Jeff Haden proves. \"Motivation\" as we know it is a myth. Motivation isn't the special sauce that we require at the beginning of any major change. In fact, motivation is a \u003ci\u003eresult \u003c\/i\u003eof process, not a cause. Understanding this will change the way you approach any obstacle or big goal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Haden shows us how to reframe our thinking about the relationship of motivation to success. He meets us at our level--at the beginning of any big goal we have for our lives, a little anxious and unsure about our way forward, a little burned by self help books and strategies that have failed us in the past--and offers practical advice that anyone can use to stop stalling and start working on those dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Haden takes the mystery out of accomplishment, proving that success isn't about spiritual awakening or a lightning bolt of inspiration --as Tony Robbins and adherents of The Secret believe--but instead, about clear and repeatable processes. Using his own advice, Haden has consistently drawn 2 million readers a month to his posts, completed a 107-mile long mountain bike race, and lost 10 pounds in a month. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Success isn't for the uniquely-qualified; it's possible for any person who understands the true nature of motivation. Jeff Haden can help you transcend average and make lasting positive change in your life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Haden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0399563768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780399563768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Portfolio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.60w x 0.80d","brand":"Jeff Haden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44044857606399,"sku":"9780399563768","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfdaf9ad-2419-4779-a8ec-763b506e08e7.jpg?v=1684975311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-motivation-myth-jeff-haden-9780399563768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
