Stanley Beckett’s “Liftoff: The Secret Keys to Launching Your Goals” is a comprehensive guide for anyone who has ever felt the sting of not being able to achieve a desired goal (which is everyone). Beckett’s core argument is that the failure to achieve a goal stems from misunderstanding the following principles: how we set goals and how we strategically pursue them.
At the heart of issues is usually the fact that people are in their own way; we struggle with self-doubt, confidence, and how to stay motivated. This all affects our mindset concerning the things we want to accomplish. At the beginning, someone may be so excited after setting a few goals, but after a few months, they may have lost the will to keep going if it hasn’t yet come to pass. The psychology of success I’ve learned while reading Beckett’s book is all about understanding the inner workings of your brain in relation to achievement. Once you have this self-awareness to this level, you will be able to avoid common pitfalls.
This book is one of the better tool-kits out there for anyone who is serious about turning their dreams into reality.
