The Psychology of Achievement
by Brian Tracy
Tracy's early classic (first an audio program): self-concept, the law of cause and effect, goal-setting, time use, relationships and the inner game of success. It is the clearest statement of the ideas he has repeated for forty years, and the sections on self-concept remain the strongest.
Read it if…
you want the foundation of Tracy's system in one place.
Skip it if…
you have read several Tracy books; this is where they came from.
Three things you will actually use
- Your outer results track your self-concept.
- Goals in writing change what you notice.
- Thought precedes result; manage the thought.
Do this first
Write the self-concept exercise honestly, then set one goal that contradicts the limiting line.
