📱 eBook en inglés THE GOALS YOU SET AND THE REASONS THEY KEEP FAILING

You set the goal with full intention—lose weight, finish the project, build the habit, change your life. The first week feels promising. Then momentum fades, excuses pile up, and youre back where you started, wondering why discipline never sticks. Maybe you blame laziness. Maybe you try harder next time. Maybe you quietly believe youre just not the kind of person who follows through.
This book explores goal-setting not as a willpower problem, but as a psychological mismatch between the goal itself and how human motivation actually works. It examines why vague aspirations collapse under daily friction, the difference between extrinsic pressure and intrinsic pull, and the exhaustion of chasing goals that sound impressive but feel hollow. It looks at unrealistic timelines, all-or-nothing thinking, shame-based motivation, and the way goals rooted in "should" drain energy instead of generating it.
Rather than prescribing productivity hacks or self-discipline tactics, this book reframes effective goal-setting as alignment between your values, capacity, and nervous system. It explores specificity, flexibility, sustainable pacing, the intelligence of small commitments, and the relief of building goals that respect how you actually function instead of how you think you should.
For anyone stuck in cycles of ambition and burnout, tired of motivational speeches that dont translate to action, or questioning whether the problem is the goal or the approach—this book offers insight into the psychology beneath follow-through, permission to design goals that fit your actual life, and clarity about the difference between striving and sustainable growth.
