Summary

Why do most personal goals fail while organizations thrive? Focus On Goals tackles this puzzle by revealing how structured systems—not just willpower—shape success. Bridging self-help and business management, the book shows why 92% of New Year’s resolutions collapse without frameworks like SMART goals and OKRs, while companies using these methods consistently hit targets. Rooted in decades of organizational psychology research, it argues that achievement is engineered through specificity, measurable steps, and feedback loops—not innate talent or hustle culture.

 
The book’s strength lies in merging corporate strategies with personal growth. It dissects how Google’s OKRs align teams and how SMART criteria help individuals turn vague aims into action, backed by studies showing clear goals boost persistence by 50%. Unlike typical guides, it doesn’t just preach systems—it adapts them. For example, OKRs designed for startups also aid solo entrepreneurs juggling multiple roles. Case studies from Intel to LinkedIn illustrate frameworks in action, while templates and progress trackers offer readers immediate tools.

 
Focus On Goals stands out by balancing academic rigor with accessibility. It traces goal-setting’s roots to industrial psychology, yet delivers insights through conversational anecdotes and self-assessments. The three-part structure—from neuroscience basics to troubleshooting common pitfalls—guides readers from theory to practice. By confronting critiques (like goals stifling creativity) and offering solutions, it becomes a pragmatic manual for anyone seeking to transform ambitions into results, proving systematic planning isn’t just for CEOs—it’s for anyone hungry to achieve more.

    From its first blackly hilarious quote, Freak shoves you on a roller coaster ride and never lets up. This is the true story of Rebecca O’Donnell, an atypical hero who found hope in the darkest of circumstances. Unlike so many spunky survivors of a damaged past, Rebecca belongs to that far more common area of depression and insecurity, hidden behind the mask she showed the world.  
So how does one crawl out a self-dug pit? With laughter, self-recognition and a drop of shaky courage, Rebecca shows us exactly how she did that, and how she helped others build their own ladders out of hell.  
Freak is a must read for anyone who’s ever heard that voice of insecurity whispering that we can’t, we shouldn’t, we don’t deserve.
