Publisher's summary

We're stuck. Stuck to the couch. Stuck scrolling. Stuck at work. Stuck in worn-out paths of habitual action. Stuck in carefully curated lives where we've traded our agency for endless comforts that wrap us in existential ennui.

As our eyes fixate on a constant parade of images meant to engage us, we notice something in the periphery. We see folks who are just like us, except they are actually, deeply happy and fulfilled. They seem to go through life with ease and grace, overcoming obstacles and making amazing things happen for themselves.

Peering closer, we see that these aren't gods or superhumans. They're just people who have chosen to not be stuck and decided to become the main characters in their own lives. Their success is not a birthright bestowed upon a lucky few, but the result of lives lived with intention. And that's what this book is about-a practical guide on infusing purpose into life in a deliberate and evidence-based way.

Through a combination of inspiring stories about unlikely high performers and evidence from the bleeding edge of behavioral science, we present you with a toolkit for learning intention-not as a fluffy concept, but as five very trainable skills.

Worth it...if you have the time

Though I think there may be better and more entertaining books on the market about "Intention" this one is different because explores the psychological factors that distinguish high performers from the rest. The authors combine scientific research with practical strategies to enhance focus, motivation, and productivity. I found the discussions on goal-setting and mental resilience particularly insightful. While some concepts delve deep into psychological theory, they're presented in an understandable way. If have the time to listen and want to go into some depth on the "why" behind intention, then this is Worth a Listen.
