Almost every person wants to change a lot in their life. For example, start eating right, buy a gym membership, sign up for language courses, become more relaxed and confident. These ideals of a comprehensively developed and successful person are largely shaped by the media. This is why attempts to start a new life on Monday, the New Year and the first of the year are often doomed to failure. The thing is that people try to live up to standards that do not correspond to their inner values and ideals, and therefore do not inspire or motivate them to move on. The book by Michelle L. Drapkin is dedicated to the topic of setting goals correctly and achieving them step by step. You will try various psychological techniques and exercises that will allow you to better understand yourself and think: what does the life of your dreams look like? What is truly important to you? Only after you separate your own ideals from those accepted in society will the real work of changing your life and achieving your goals begin. The book was written with the understanding that changing life for the better can be difficult. The author writes about complex things concisely and clearly, talks about his experience sincerely and with humor. As Michelle L. Drapkin herself says, “The point of motivational counseling is that we drive change, connect with values, and create the life of your dreams.”
