I stumbled upon The Achievement Habit through Tina Seelig book. It was a wake-up call for me, especially the chapter "Reasons are Bullshit".
I was blaming almost everyone, including my family, for where I am right now. Until I read "Many reasons are simply excuses to hide the fact that we are not willing to give something a high enough priority in our life."
Dear Bernie,
Just part way into your book it started to have an effect on me.
Your honesty and personal life examples helped me open a line of communication with my sister to discuss her husband's onset of Alzheimers in a meaningful way.
Your book made a big difference in the monthly meeting of a senior group I belong to. Twelve of us meet in my home. Instead of the usual social chatter, I suggested we follow the "Your Turn" exercise where we talk about something personal. The result was amazing, it made for a feeling of connection we had never before achieved. Everyone got excited about your book, and I plan to use it in subsequent meetings"
“The Achievement Habit” is the rare book you experience — one that offers the permission to expect more of and extract more from yourself. It doesn’t do so in an accusatory way, just in an it’s-okay-you-can-do-this encouraging one. “This” is whatever it is you want to do. Whether it’s taking on a new exercise routine, getting better at memorizing people’s names or just cleaning the kitchen — the book takes you on a journey of stories and exercises to get to know the thing — the person, really — standing in your way.
[...] I have, in the cool embrace of dawn, discovered my passion all over again. Thanks to Bernie’s book, I have discovered how and why I stand in my own way. I was scared of judgment — mostly my own. I was also unaware that I had permission to take time for myself, that the morning, when my mind was most awake and available to me, was precious, and that there is, in fact, a book in me to be written.
This book really gave me some great ideas for my business
