The Achievement Habit

The cofounder of the Stanford D. School introduces the power of design thinking to help you achieve goals you never thought possible. Achievement can be learned. It´s a muscle, and once you learn how to flex it, you´ll be able to meet life´s challenges and fulfill your goals, Bernard Roth, academic director at the Stanford d.school, contends.

In the Achievement Habit, Roth applies the remarkable insights that stem from design thinking – previously used to solve large-scale projects – to help us realize the power for positive change we all have within us. Roth leads us through a series of discussions, stories, recommendations, and exercises designed to help us create a different experience in our lives. He shares invaluable insights we can use to gain confidence to do what we´ve always wanted and overcome obstacles that hamper us from reaching our potential, including:

- Don´t try, DO
- Excuses are self-defeating
- Believe you are a doer and achiever and you´ll become one
- Build resilience by reinforcing what you do rather than what you accomplish
- Learn to ignore distractions that prevent you from achieving your goals
- Become open to learning from your own experiences and from those around you
- And more

The brain is complex and is always working with our egos to sabotage our best intentions. But we can be mindful; we can create habits that make our lives better. Thoughtful and powerful, The Achievement Habit shows you how.
