Summary

The legendary college football coach and analyst, Lou Holtz once said: "When all is said and done, more is said than done."

These few, yet extremely profound words explain one of the biggest predicaments that individuals face today. Many of us as individuals say we want to be successful, happy, and influential. Yet, very, very few of us follow up what we say - whether said to others or ourselves - with specific actions that move us directly toward those goals. The idea of being successful is an attractive dream that fills us with positive emotions. Whereas the actions required to be successful (at work, in our relationships, in sports competition, etc.) are often difficult and lengthy. The desire to be genuinely happy is a universal goal toward which nearly every individual and advanced society aspires. But, the actions required to achieve deep and sustained happiness (some call it "joy") require us to often delay temporary gratification and "quick fixes" to problems. And, saying that we want to achieve a level of influence, either as a leader of others in the workplace, an influential member of the community, or as an admired parent and spouse, is far easier than the gut wrenching decisions, enormous amounts of personal time, and direct truth-telling that are required.

It's this gap - which can often feel as large, distant and mysterious as a black hole - between what we say we want, and what we must do to achieve it, that separates those who are able to turn their dreams into their destiny. So what do we need to bridge this gap between what we say we want, and what we must do to achieve it? We need goal-oriented motivation. What would it mean to you to learn how to develop this kind of motivation on-demand, sustain this motivation through the difficult periods of life, and instill this motivation so intricately into your daily life that you make the very idea of motivation unnecessary? All of that and more is available to you in this cutting-edge, all new program, The Science of Motivation: Strategies and Techniques for Turning Dreams into Destiny, from personal development expert and motivation master, Brian Tracy. Here you'll learn that the typical idea of motivation (as something that comes and goes, often out of your control; and as something akin to a balloon being filled with air from the outside in) are completely inaccurate. Motivation has been studied - as have the methods and strategies needed to replicate it. Truly, there is a science of motivation. And, like any other subject which has been studied and tested with the scientific method, if you implement the causes of motivation in your life, you will produce the effect of motivation. After cleaning away the numerous myths about motivation that most people believe, Brian will present this cutting-edge Science of Motivation with you. And, if you apply this science systematically in your life, your dreams will become your destiny.

Not what I was expecting but great nevertheless.

I didn’t realise this wasn’t a book but a question and answers session, with descriptive details on what needs to be done.

As with any of these books, you only get anything out of them if you take action.

I overall liked the detail, stories, examples and it has made me think differently about things. Good listen for anyone who wants to change their life for the positive. It has loads of small nuggets and not all are related to motivation but would change your life for better.

The Science of Motivation

I have struggled all my life with lack of motivation and procrastination. Before listening to this book I thought of motivation as something big, vague and elusive, misterious, which some people just have, while I don't. Now I have a very thorough actionable break-down of the things that lie at the basis of motivation. Listening to Brian Tracy has always been inspiring for me, but this book really stands out for me.
Thank you, Brian Tracy!
And thank you, Audible for making self-development books accessible for the lower budget people like me.

Gently reassuring

Definitely will keep & relisten to when I need reminding to pick a little thought of a skill to refresh or learn.
