What Will Make Your Future Better? A Roadmap For Success!
Personal Growth. Self-Development. Self-Improvement. Lasting Change. Enduring Transformation. Success. For any one who has tried to get better – these are common topics to explore. Unfortunately, these topics are vast, and often confusing. We need a roadmap for success.
In this series of posts, we present an actionable roadmap, culled from the latest research. We condense the vast breadth of this information into a series of systematic steps. These steps are based on concrete research which explains why these steps work, and why they are critical.
In “Unlock Your True Potential: A Guide to Personal Growth and Self-Discovery,” we provide a high-level introduction to the basic concepts.
The first step, “Achieving Your Best Life with Identity-Based Goals: The Psychology of Personal Success,” deals with how we define growth or change or success.
Then, in “Systems vs Goals: Finding the Right Balance for Achieving Success,” we describe how goals and systems complement each other – goals set the direction, systems provide the progress.
The second step, then, involves building systems tuned for success, aligned with our goals. In Why Systems Thinking is Key for Long-Term Success, we explain why systems thinking is critical to success, and in Unlocking Success: Building Systems That Work we describe how to build effective systems.
Knowing what to do and doing it are two very different things. We all know eating an apple is good for our health, but instead we eat an ice cream sundae.
To overcome this kind of self-sabotage, we must understand human psychology, and use that as the basic foundation to our framework.
Our roadmap for success curates from the seminal work of many:
James Clear, “Atomic Habits”
Scott Adams, “How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big: Kind of the Story of My Life”
Daniel Coyle, “The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. It’s Grown. Here’s How.“
Carol Dweck, “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success”
Angela Duckworth, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance”
Charles Duhigg, “The Power of Habit”
Michelle Segar, “The Joy Choice“
August Bradley, “My Notion Life Operating System Overview“
And numerous other research articles and blog posts.
